Summary
Quantum entanglement using slow-light-enhanced nonlinearity. The project will develop the fundamental science for creating quantum entanglement in micro- and nano-scale photonic devices so that thousands of these devices can be placed onto a single chip. This is the key to building practical quantum technologies that will make communications much more secure and computations many times faster.

The CMOS Quantum Processor: A path to scalable quantum computing. The project aims to develop a quantum computer processor based on a new technology developed by Professor Dzurak in 2014-15. Remarkably, the qubits, or processing elements, utilise the silicon metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors that constitute today’s microprocessor chips, so existing production plants can be used to fast-track development.

The project aims to develop a quantum computer processor based on a new technology developed by Professor Dzurak in 2014-15. Remarkably, the qubits, or processing elements, utilise the silicon metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors that constitute today’s microprocessor chips, so existing production plants can be used to fast-track development. The project will realise proof-of-principle systems with 10-20 qubits, to resolve critical issues related to readout, error correction, and long-distance on-chip coupling, to take the technology to a commercial-ready stage. Quantum computing is one of the great scientific challenges of this century, with important applications in pharmaceutical design, finance and national security.Read moreRead less
Unleashing terahertz radiation through the marriage of solid state laser and photonic crystal technology. Terahertz (THz) radiation holds enormous potential to improve the security and well being of Australians, but its application has been largely restricted to the laboratory. By using photonic crystals (structures responsible for shimmer of opals and butterfly wings) this project will generate a new technology enabling its practical and widespread application.
