Summary
Building a mechanical quantum memory from superfluid helium. This project aims to implement a quantum computer memory module which can be integrated in a future hybrid quantum computer, where the advantages of different quantum platforms are combined. The memory module will be achieved by coupling a superconducting qubit to the surface vibrations of superfluid helium and exchanging quantum information between the qubit and helium. By simulating chemical reactions, the project expects to find cle ....Building a mechanical quantum memory from superfluid helium. This project aims to implement a quantum computer memory module which can be integrated in a future hybrid quantum computer, where the advantages of different quantum platforms are combined. The memory module will be achieved by coupling a superconducting qubit to the surface vibrations of superfluid helium and exchanging quantum information between the qubit and helium. By simulating chemical reactions, the project expects to find cleaner alternatives of current industrial processes, reducing environmental impact. The outcomes should provide significant benefits for testing the validity of quantum mechanics, and by contributing to the realisation of a quantum computer, contribute to broad socio-economic benefits.Read moreRead less
An atom-scale fabrication technique for diamond quantum microprocessors. 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 or ....An atom-scale fabrication technique for diamond quantum microprocessors. 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
