Howard has been working in quantum
measurement and control since his Honours project in 1991. In his
PhD work he showed how quantum trajectory theory could be applied
to the problem of quantum feedback, and this approach has become
the accepted one. As a post-doc in Auckland he worked mainly on
atom optics, in particular on atom lasers. Since 1996 he has held
ARC research fellowships. The first at the University of Queensland
was to work on adaptive measurements. The second at Griffith University
is on the subject of non-Markovian quantum trajectories. This includes
the so-called "realistic" quantum trajectories for non-ideal
measurement devices which he introduced in 2002.
The third, as a Federation Fellow, is in the fields of quantum
information, measurement, and control. He has over 100 journal papers
and has an h-factor of 21. He has won the Bragg Medal of the AIP,
the Pawsey Medal of the AAS and the Malcolm Macintosh Medal of the
Federal Science Ministry.
Since the establishment of the Centre of Excellence in 2003, Howard
has been the program manager for the Griffith program. This has
four aspects: i) modelling realistic measurements, ii) quantum feedback,
iii) the quantum information-measurement interface, iv) the quantum
computing-measurement interface.
