Relative quantum information theory. Quantum information encoded in relative degrees of freedom of multiple quantum systems offers striking advantages in communication and cryptography: it is immune to common types of noise and does not require reference systems shared between parties. This project aims to formulate a theory of relative quantum information, to develop practical information processing protocols that take advantage of relative encodings, and to propose proof-of-principle experim ....Relative quantum information theory. Quantum information encoded in relative degrees of freedom of multiple quantum systems offers striking advantages in communication and cryptography: it is immune to common types of noise and does not require reference systems shared between parties. This project aims to formulate a theory of relative quantum information, to develop practical information processing protocols that take advantage of relative encodings, and to propose proof-of-principle experiments in quantum optics that reveal these advantages. Expected outcomes include powerful communication and cryptographic protocols, a design for programmable quantum computation, and a fundamentally relative theory of quantum information connecting with other foundational fields of physics.Read moreRead less
Developing Best Practice for Settlement Services for Refugee Women-at-Risk. As one of the few countries offering a Woman-at-Risk visa category, Australia is committed to providing support to this vulnerable group during the process of settlement. Each year, approximately $17 million is allocated to women at risk to assist with the process of settlement; however, there is a paucity of research to inform settlement practice specific to this group. This project aims to understand the determinants o ....Developing Best Practice for Settlement Services for Refugee Women-at-Risk. As one of the few countries offering a Woman-at-Risk visa category, Australia is committed to providing support to this vulnerable group during the process of settlement. Each year, approximately $17 million is allocated to women at risk to assist with the process of settlement; however, there is a paucity of research to inform settlement practice specific to this group. This project aims to understand the determinants of psychosocial wellbeing for women-at-risk during settlement and to draw upon the ecological model of community psychology to inform the design and delivery of settlement services for this group.Read moreRead less
