Alexander Rudolf Hamilton (born 1967) is with the School of Physics at the University of New South Wales (UNSW).
He is notable in the area of experimental condensed matter physics, particularly semiconductor nanofabrication and the study of quantum effects in nanometer scale electronic devices at ultra-low temperatures.
[1] He was awarded an EPSRC postdoctoral fellowship to continue his work at the Cavendish Laboratory, which led to new understandings of electrical conduction in highly correlated low-dimensional quantum systems.
Hamilton moved to the University of New South Wales in 1999, where he was one of the founding members of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computer Technology.
He is Deputy Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (FLEET), an Australian research centre developing ultra-low energy electronics based on technologies including topological materials, exciton superfluids, non-equilibrium physics, atomically-thin materials and nanodevice fabrication.
