It will discover how particles gain mass, explore the identity of cosmological dark matter, and search for the new laws of physics needed for a satisfactory theory of the structure of matter. the Centre will provide the enhanced capability and institutional coordination and development needed for Australia to make a ....ARC Centre of Excellence for Particle Physics at the Tera-Scale. The Large Hadron Collider, a gigantic particle accelerator at the CERN laboratory in Europe, has commenced operation. It will discover how particles gain mass, explore the identity of cosmological dark matter, and search for the new laws of physics needed for a satisfactory theory of the structure of matter. the Centre will provide the enhanced capability and institutional coordination and development needed for Australia to make a major contribution to this most prestigious international project. It will transform Australia's standing in fundamental physics, provide unsurpassed training, generate many linkages in science and technology, and lead an important public outreach program.Read moreRead less
Australian Centre for Quantum-Atom Optics. The Centre will combine pre-eminent Australian theoretical and experimental research groups in quantum and atom optics to create a powerful network to advance the rapidly developing field of Quantum-Atom Optics. We will exploit the quantum nature of multiple particle quantum states of atoms and photons including entangled light and Bose-Einstein condensates. The Centre will focus on fundamental research, but our long term goal is to underpin and develo ....Australian Centre for Quantum-Atom Optics. The Centre will combine pre-eminent Australian theoretical and experimental research groups in quantum and atom optics to create a powerful network to advance the rapidly developing field of Quantum-Atom Optics. We will exploit the quantum nature of multiple particle quantum states of atoms and photons including entangled light and Bose-Einstein condensates. The Centre will focus on fundamental research, but our long term goal is to underpin and develop the next generation quantum technology. We aim to build a quantum toolbox to enable applications such as the transfer and storage of information for photonics, and precision quantum control of atoms for enhanced atom interferometry.Read moreRead less
ARC Centre of Excellence - Centre for Antimatter-Matter Studies. While our world is made of matter, all particles have anti-particles and the most abundant is the positron, the electron's antiparticle. It is the "workshop" for most anti-matter studies, particularly for the characterization of materials, including gases, polymers, insulators, thin films and surfaces, as well as the development of new and novel, nano-structured materials. The ARC Centre of Excellence in Antimatter-Matter Studies ....ARC Centre of Excellence - Centre for Antimatter-Matter Studies. While our world is made of matter, all particles have anti-particles and the most abundant is the positron, the electron's antiparticle. It is the "workshop" for most anti-matter studies, particularly for the characterization of materials, including gases, polymers, insulators, thin films and surfaces, as well as the development of new and novel, nano-structured materials. The ARC Centre of Excellence in Antimatter-Matter Studies (CAMS) will bring together key Australian and international scientists to work in this emerging scientific field of antimatter-matter interactions. It will forge a unique and effective scientific team for state-of-the-art studies of the nano-world that underlies many everyday processes and new technologies.Read moreRead less
