Summary
Integrated gas photonics. Many physical scientists believe that the next technological revolution in society will arise from exploitation of the unique features of the quantum world. The project will develop new technology at the boundary between photonics and atomic physics aimed at addressing fundamental challenges in quantum information and sensing.
Foundation technology for quantum measurement, sensing and computing. This project will advance quantum control of cold ions, atoms and diamond colour centres for application of quantum science to high-tech problems, from ion-based quantum computing to diamond-based quantum imaging inside living cells.
Optical technology for quantum science. This project aims to develop and commercialise optical cavity and frequency stabilisation technology to generate laser light at new and precise wavelengths. Australia plays a leading role internationally in quantum science, a burgeoning area of research where fundamental quantum mechanical principles underpin exciting new technological applications, such as ion-based quantum computing, ultracold atom sensing for geo-exploration and defence, and nanoscale i ....Optical technology for quantum science.

Summary
Fully-integrated fibre-based platform for a quantum information network. This project aims to combine Australia’s pioneering work developing specialised atom-filled optical fibres with world-leading quantum information storage protocols to probe the extreme limits of atom-light interactions. This will enable the creation of a compact, robust and modular node to efficiently store and process packets of optical quantum information. The node will integrate directly with current communications infra ....Fully-integrated fibre-based platform for a quantum information network. This project aims to combine Australia’s pioneering work developing specialised atom-filled optical fibres with world-leading quantum information storage protocols to probe the extreme limits of atom-light interactions. This will enable the creation of a compact, robust and modular node to efficiently store and process packets of optical quantum information. The node will integrate directly with current communications infrastructure, enabling the creation of a quantum Internet - the vital missing ingredient needed to overcome experimental hurdles that limit quantum technologies. This project is expected to enable the rapid uptake of quantum technology, boosting Australia’s capacity in this burgeoning field.Read moreRead less
