This project aims to develop an atomically-precise fabrication technique for the production of diamond quantum microprocessors through the pursuit of a novel bottom-up approach. This project expects to create significant new knowledge and capability in precision diamond growth, surface chemistry, electronics and characterisation, establish a long-term strategic partnership between Quantum Brilliance and the participating organisations, and enable the realisation of high-performance quantum microprocessors. These outcomes will potentially deliver Australia and Quantum Brilliance a profound advantage in quantum computing, thereby securing their positions in the emerging global quantum market and the associated economic and security benefits.Read moreRead less

Summary
Developing the next generation of single and entangled photon sources. Low noise and efficient sources of single and entangled photons are important resources to implement a scalable platform for large-scale quantum information tasks. This project will develop the prototypes for these sources which will be suitable for a wide range of interesting applications in quantum information.

Summary
Quantum state translation in integrated optics: enabling multicolour quantum processing. This project aims to use nonlinear effects in photonic waveguide devices to shift the energies of photons, single particles of light, from one state to another. This will have a profound impact on provably secure quantum communication and potentially provide novel routes to the building of a quantum computer.
Simulating quantum states of matter: connecting theory to applications in science and technology. Quantum phenomena are ubiquitous and critical to the functioning of many modern technological devices, for example sensors and computer chips used in mobile phones. Although great strides have been made in recent decades in describing quantum phenomena theoretically, computational modelling is an essential ingredient to describe real experiments and devices. This project aims to develop the next gen ....Simulating quantum states of matter: connecting theory to applications in science and technology. Quantum phenomena are ubiquitous and critical to the functioning of many modern technological devices, for example sensors and computer chips used in mobile phones. Although great strides have been made in recent decades in describing quantum phenomena theoretically, computational modelling is an essential ingredient to describe real experiments and devices. This project aims to develop the next generation of computational tools aimed at two major themes: characterising topological states of matter, and modelling non-equilibrium phenomena. These tools will be invaluable for the design and modelling of quantum devices and novel materials and will enable the development of the next generation of technological devices.Read moreRead less
Performance bottlenecks in ultra-scaled field-effect transistors. The comparison of commercial and atomically-precise devices will result in the long sought after atomistic metrology knowledge. Such knowledge is required to achieve a leap forward in device understanding and design in order to improve speed, reliability and energy consumption.

The project aims to develop a quantum computer processor based on a new technology developed by Professor Dzurak in 2014-15. Remarkably, the qubits, or processing elements, utilise the silicon metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors that constitute today’s microprocessor chips, so existing production plants can be used to fast-track development. The project will realise proof-of-principle systems with 10-20 qubits, to resolve critical issues related to readout, error correction, and long-distance on-chip coupling, to take the technology to a commercial-ready stage. Quantum computing is one of the great scientific challenges of this century, with important applications in pharmaceutical design, finance and national security.Read moreRead less
