The 21st century is seeing the birth of the first truly quantum technologies - devices whose operation can only be explained using quantum physics - which can outperform any conventional technology. This project will advance new theoretical foundations for designing quantum technologies by forging links between the three key areas of quantum measurement, control, and information. It will also establish the first experimental laboratory in Australia to test these new theories. As the miniaturization of technology continues, quantum design principles will be required for more and more devices. The discoveries made will help keep Australian science at the forefront of this revolution.Read moreRead less

This project will deliver a new Australian capability in the core nanotechnology of quantum electromechanical systems. Nanotechnology is a suite of techniques and processes to create new materials and devices through complex processing of constituents at the nanoscale and, in the case of quantum electromechanical systems, even with moving parts. At the nanoscale, quantum principles apply. New nano-fabrication methods are now available to build nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS), integrated with electronics and nano optics and cooled into the quantum regime. Quantum electromechanical systems (QEMS) enable new sensors with ultimate sensitivity limited only by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, with applications in photonics, metrology and bio molecular imaging.Read moreRead less
