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
Settling well in regional Australia: Experiences of people from refugee backgrounds. Regional humanitarian settlement is a key priority across all levels of government in Australia. This study aims to provide the first longitudinal assessment of the impacts of regional settlement for humanitarian migrants and destination communities. Its innovative, mixed-method and multi-sited approach will generate new knowledge of the opportunities and challenges for sustainable regional settlement. Expected ....Settling well in regional Australia: Experiences of people from refugee backgrounds. Regional humanitarian settlement is a key priority across all levels of government in Australia. This study aims to provide the first longitudinal assessment of the impacts of regional settlement for humanitarian migrants and destination communities. Its innovative, mixed-method and multi-sited approach will generate new knowledge of the opportunities and challenges for sustainable regional settlement. Expected outcomes include enhanced community, organisational and government decision-making capacity. By guiding end-users’ current and future actions, the study has strong potential to support the wellbeing of humanitarian migrants and to contribute to healthy and resilient regional communities.Read moreRead less
