Solid state optical quantum information technology. There is a significant effort in Australia and around the world to develop quantum information technologies. This project, by demonstrating a suite of critical building blocks for quantum information processing, will support Australia's strong position in this emerging technology.

There is a significant effort in Australia and around the world to develop quantum information technologies. This project, by demonstrating a suite of critical building blocks for quantum information processing, will support Australia's strong position in this emerging technology.
A major motivation for the effort directed at quantum information technologies is the impact they will have on the security of data transmission, both in breaking existing encryptions and implementing new encryption systems. The successful completion of this project will provide the essential components for a secure long distance quantum communication network. Read moreRead less
Development of a quantum computer based on solid-state optical impurity sites. The use of optical impurity sites in solid-state hosts as a basis for a quantum computer will be investigated. This project will experimentally demonstrate and characterize all the functions necessary for the operation of a scalable quantum computer. A significant advantage of the current approach is that all these functions can be performed optically, circumventing the need for the complex fabrication found in othe ....Development of a quantum computer based on solid-state optical impurity sites.
