This Centre aims to implement quantum processors able to run error corrected algorithms and transfer information across networks with absolute security. Australian researchers have established global leadership in quantum information, an innovative technology which could transform all industries dependent on computational power. This Centre has developed technologies for manipulating matter and light at the level of individual atoms and photons, with the highest fidelity, longest coherence time qubits in the solid state, the world’s longest-lived quantum memory, and the ability to run small-scale algorithms on photonic qubits. The new technology is expected to provide a strategic advantage in a world where information and information security are of paramount importance.Read moreRead less

Summary
Mixing light and matter with complex gauge fields . Quantum fluids of light and electronic matter provide a practical route towards technological applications of collective quantum effects that were previously only possible at extreme conditions. However, progress in harnessing these effects, such as the flow of synchronised particles without resistance, is hindered by the weak interaction of the hybrid light-matter particles with electromagnetic fields. This project aims to engineer artificial ....Mixing light and matter with complex gauge fields . Quantum fluids of light and electronic matter provide a practical route towards technological applications of collective quantum effects that were previously only possible at extreme conditions. However, progress in harnessing these effects, such as the flow of synchronised particles without resistance, is hindered by the weak interaction of the hybrid light-matter particles with electromagnetic fields. This project aims to engineer artificial fields that can easily control these hybrid particles and their flow in semiconductors at ambient conditions. The outcome of this research will benefit the design of low-energy devices and new quantum technologies based on hybrid light-matter quantum fluids.Read moreRead less

An efficient optical interconnect for superconducting quantum computers. This project aims to develop the technology to connect superconducting quantum computers to the future quantum internet: an optical interconnect. Superconducting qubits are a leading quantum computing system, but their practical use is limited by their microwave operation frequency, as global quantum networks will operate at optical frequencies.

This project aims to develop the technology to connect superconducting quantum computers to the future quantum internet: an optical interconnect. Superconducting qubits are a leading quantum computing system, but their practical use is limited by their microwave operation frequency, as global quantum networks will operate at optical frequencies. This project aims to solve this problem by converting the microwave photons that carry superconducting quantum information to optical photons. To achieve high efficiency the project will investigate magnetically ordered rare-earth crystals, which uniquely possess the strong optical and microwave coupling required, to build a converter that could greatly enhance the capabilities of quantum computers.Read moreRead less
