This project aims to break the major barriers to realising high-performance quantum technologies that operate at room temperature by exploiting the unique properties of colour centres in diamond and two-dimensional materials. This project expects to yield profound new knowledge of colour centres and new theoretical methods, experimental techniques and quantum devices. Expected outcomes are significant enhancements of existing technologies, invention of novel two-dimensional technologies, and expanded domestic capability and international collaborations in quantum technology. These outcomes will benefit Australia by securing its global competitiveness in quantum industry and providing transformative tools to science, defence and industry.Read moreRead less

This project aims to advance diamond quantum technologies by discovering and engineering defects, innovating quantum microscopy techniques and enabling large-scale diamond quantum computing. Quantum technologies could transcend the limits of today’s current technologies. Defects in diamond are a proven platform for the development of quantum microscopes which could yield images of nature at the atomic scale and quantum computers that may solve problems too difficult for classical computers. This project will employ an integrated research approach, spanning fundamental theory to device design and demonstration. Key anticipated outcomes are international collaboration and knowledge, capability and training in quantum microscopy and computing. This will benefit Australia by securing its global competiveness in the emerging market of quantum technology.Read moreRead less
Electric field imaging of single charges and molecules via spins in diamond. This project aims to build, demonstrate and advance quantum microscopes in Australia. The microscopes are based on the quantum metrology capabilities of nitrogen-vacancy centre defect spins in diamond. The project will use the microscopes to produce nanoscale images of the electric fields of individual electric charges and molecules in ambient conditions. It will then extend the capabilities of the microscopes towards t ....Electric field imaging of single charges and molecules via spins in diamond. This project aims to build, demonstrate and advance quantum microscopes in Australia. The microscopes are based on the quantum metrology capabilities of nitrogen-vacancy centre defect spins in diamond. The project will use the microscopes to produce nanoscale images of the electric fields of individual electric charges and molecules in ambient conditions. It will then extend the capabilities of the microscopes towards the vibrational resonance imaging of single molecules. This project could improve the study of electronic processes in biology and nanotechnology and the structure and properties of complex molecules. It may also enable advances in interdisciplinary research and the development of high-performance materials, nanoelectronic devices and associated industry.Read moreRead less
