Rate My Professor Sergei Slussarenko

Dr. Sergei Slussarenko is a Senior Lecturer and ARC Future Fellow (2025-2029) at Griffith University in the School of Environment and Science, specifically within the Applied Mathematics, Statistics and Physics group at the Queensland Quantum and Advanced Technologies Institute. He leads the Quantum Optics and Information Laboratory, focusing his research on quantum optics, quantum metrology, and orbital angular momentum of light. These interests drive advancements in photonic quantum information processing, quantum communication networks, and ultra-sensitive measurement technologies. Slussarenko earned his PhD from the University of Naples Federico II in Naples, Italy (2008-2011), and his MSc from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine (2002-2007). Prior to his current role, he served as a Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow and began his tenure at Griffith as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Centre for Quantum Dynamics in 2013.

Slussarenko's career has been marked by substantial contributions to quantum technologies, reflected in over 6,750 citations on Google Scholar. In 2024, he received the ARC Future Fellowship worth $1,150,073 for his project 'Pioneering Quantum Advantage in Interconnected Ultra-Sensitive Measurement Networks.' His influential publications include 'Photonic quantum information processing: A concise review' (Applied Physics Reviews, 2019, cited over 960 times), 'Quantum channel correction outperforming direct transmission' (Nature Communications, 2022), 'Experimental optical phase measurement approaching the Heisenberg limit' (Optica, 2018), and works on quantum steering with vector vortex photons and multipartite nonlocality in photonic quantum networks. These demonstrate innovations in error correction for quantum channels, Heisenberg-limited metrology, and networked quantum systems. He has presented findings at international venues like SPIE conferences and contributes to the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology. His research impacts quantum sensing, communication resilience against noise, and foundational quantum information science.
