Summary
A quantum telescope for extremely high-resolution imaging. This project will combine world-leading Australian signal stabilisation technology with recent developments in quantum sensors to demonstrate the world’s first quantum telescope. This project expects to demonstrate that quantum detectors can feasibly link optical telescopes, separated by hundreds of kilometres, to achieve extremely high-resolution imaging.

This project will combine world-leading Australian signal stabilisation technology with recent developments in quantum sensors to demonstrate the world’s first quantum telescope. This project expects to demonstrate that quantum detectors can feasibly link optical telescopes, separated by hundreds of kilometres, to achieve extremely high-resolution imaging. Expected outcomes are the development of technologies that will enable imaging with resolution more than 20 times better than any existing telescope. This will provide significant benefits for astronomy, space situational awareness, and defence.Read moreRead less

The mission of our Centre is to use gravitational waves to investigate the fundamental nature of relativistic gravity, ultra-dense matter, and cosmology. This will generate critical discoveries that cement Australia's leadership role in the gravitational wave mega-science instruments of the 2030s and 2040s.

The mission of our Centre is to use gravitational waves to investigate the fundamental nature of relativistic gravity, ultra-dense matter, and cosmology. This will generate critical discoveries that cement Australia's leadership role in the gravitational wave mega-science instruments of the 2030s and 2040s. By bringing together a world-class team with broad and complementary expertise we will develop core technologies for future detectors, discover new sources of gravitational waves, probe fundamental physics, and lay the foundations for an Australian gravitational wave observatory. Our discoveries will inspire Australia's youth to pursue high tech careers and position our staff and students to become leaders in both industry and academia.Read moreRead less
