Andrea Morello (born 26 June 1972, in Pinerolo, Italy) is the Scientia Professor of Quantum Engineering in the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of New South Wales, and a Program Manager at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T).

He obtained his PhD in experimental physics from the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory in Leiden in 2004,[7] during which he explored the quantum dynamics of molecular nanomagnets at low temperatures.

[8][9] Morello's research is primarily focused on designing and building the basic components of a quantum computer using the spins of single atoms in silicon.

[10][11][12] His team were the first in the world to demonstrate the coherent control and readout of the electron and nuclear spin of an individual phosphorus atom in silicon,[13][14][15][16] and for many years they held the record for the longest quantum memory time for a single qubit in the solid state (35.6 seconds).

[17] Morello's research also focuses on using highly coherent spin systems to study the foundations of quantum mechanics.
