Summary
Scalable semiconductor quantum processor with flip chip bonding technology. Australia is famous for quantum computing research based on electron spin in silicon quantum dot. This project aims to enable the manufacturing of such scalable quantum processor. Currently, superconducting quantum processor has reached >100 of qubits by the utilization of 3D integration fabrication technology such as flip chip bonding.

Australia is famous for quantum computing research based on electron spin in silicon quantum dot. This project aims to enable the manufacturing of such scalable quantum processor. Currently, superconducting quantum processor has reached >100 of qubits by the utilization of 3D integration fabrication technology such as flip chip bonding. Likewise, for semiconductor spin-qubit to grow, it is inevitable that novel 3D architecture by expanding the building block to the next dimension must be explored to pave the way to scalable semiconductor quantum processor. This project will spearhead Australia's semiconductor quantum processor to the realm of hundreds of qubits and put this technology on par with superconducting quantum processor.Read moreRead less
Performing cold microwave measurements with warm diamonds. Detecting weak microwave signals at room temperature is an exceptionally difficult task, due to the excessive thermal microwave noise that exists all around us. At present, the best microwave receivers must be cooled to cryogenic temperatures, restricting their widespread use.

Detecting weak microwave signals at room temperature is an exceptionally difficult task, due to the excessive thermal microwave noise that exists all around us. At present, the best microwave receivers must be cooled to cryogenic temperatures, restricting their widespread use. This project aims to apply diamond-based quantum technologies to achieve unprecedented microwave signal detection sensitivities with a room-temperature setup, providing more accessible ultra-low noise detectors. The ability to measure weak microwave signals is crucial for a range of sectors and the results of this project are expected to have applications in defence (radar), space exploration (satellite communication), and fundamental research (spectroscopy).Read moreRead less
