Manufacturing, controlling, manipulating and measuring continuous-variable quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement is a feature of the quantum world which results in objects, which once interacted, remain interlinked even when separated by vast distances. We are approaching the stage where this so-called "spooky action at a distance" will be technologically useful. This project aims to place Australia at the front of quantum entanglement research.
