The Centre for Quantum Computer Technology's mission is the construction of a prototype few-qubit silicon quantum processor to demonstrate the feasibility of this breakthrough technology for massively parallel computation. This application will initiate a new strategic research program within the Centre to address the key issue of interfacing laboratory with silicon CMOS microelectronics. The Hybrid Quantum- Conventional Processor will provide calibrated gate control and readout of individual buried atom quantum bits,to run logic operations with quantum error correction. This program will require a deep understanding of physics issues to develop fault tolerant coherent control of qubit arrays for real applications.Read moreRead less

Data Grid -- Access Layer. Vast increases in computing power and the arrival of new scientific instruments are contributing to the so-called data deluge of the 21st century. Accessing and archiving these data is essential to research. While the underlying computing and network requirements are well resourced, data access has been relatively neglected in Australia. A continuing problem in Australian research communities is the absence of coordinated access to digital storage resources. In many ca ....Data Grid -- Access Layer. Vast increases in computing power and the arrival of new scientific instruments are contributing to the so-called data deluge of the 21st century. Accessing and archiving these data is essential to research. While the underlying computing and network requirements are well resourced, data access has been relatively neglected in Australia. A continuing problem in Australian research communities is the absence of coordinated access to digital storage resources. In many cases computational and experimental data are stored on ad-hoc resources, such as local university servers, PC disc drives, and are not generally accessible. The central goal of this proposal is to provide access to an integrated scientific data storage capacity for Australia.Read moreRead less
