The nature and fate of quasiparticles in correlated quantum matter. The revolution in electronics and the Information Age were enabled by powerful theories based on the concept of the quasiparticle, an object composed of many particles such as electrons. This Fellowship aims to unravel the behaviour of new complex materials by investigating the nature of quasiparticles beyond the current paradigm.

The revolution in electronics and the Information Age were enabled by powerful theories based on the concept of the quasiparticle, an object composed of many particles such as electrons. This Fellowship aims to unravel the behaviour of new complex materials by investigating the nature of quasiparticles beyond the current paradigm. The key innovation is the use of trapped atoms, which allows new quantum theories and computational tools to be developed and precisely tested. The new knowledge generated by the Fellowship will advance a range of fields, including condensed matter physics, and could ultimately underpin a new generation of quantum devices featuring robust data memories, where information can be efficiently stored and extracted.Read moreRead less
Few-body correlations in many-particle quantum matter. This project aims to develop theories of quantum matter by investigating the connection between microscopic few-particle correlations and macroscopic quantum phenomena. The growing class of strongly correlated quantum systems that defy a conventional explanation creates a pressing need for this approach. This project will use the clean and tuneable cold-atom system, where microscopic properties are precisely known, to directly verify new spe ....Few-body correlations in many-particle quantum matter. This project aims to develop theories of quantum matter by investigating the connection between microscopic few-particle correlations and macroscopic quantum phenomena. The growing class of strongly correlated quantum systems that defy a conventional explanation creates a pressing need for this approach. This project will use the clean and tuneable cold-atom system, where microscopic properties are precisely known, to directly verify new spectral techniques. A greater understanding of quantum correlations is expected to advance several fields including condensed matter physics, and could underpin quantum devices where energy can be efficiently stored and rapidly extracted.Read moreRead less

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
