This project aims to explore effects of strong interactions on phases of light and matter in complex quantum systems, by mimicking them with surrogates called quantum simulators. The project expects to open up new research directions by building a novel versatile simulator platform from nanoscale superconducting electronic circuits in which all elements are flexibly engineered and precisely controlled. Expected outcomes from the project will include better understanding of complex materials and a certifiable scaling-up pathway towards simulation complexity, future hi-tech manufacturing; and enhanced research capacity in the new interdisciplinary field of quantum engineering. This should help to position Australia as a centre for hi-tech quantum industry leading to both social and economic benefits.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
Turbulent cascades in superfluid Flatland. This project aims to answer open questions in turbulence by stirring many tiny whirlpools (vortices) into a superfluid Bose-Einstein condensate. It seeks to determine how vortex dynamics redistribute energy across broad length scales in superfluids, how turbulence arises from instabilities, and how turbulence redistributes energy in multicomponent superfluids. The outcomes of this project will elucidate the links between quantum and classical fluids, an ....Turbulent cascades in superfluid Flatland. This project aims to answer open questions in turbulence by stirring many tiny whirlpools (vortices) into a superfluid Bose-Einstein condensate. It seeks to determine how vortex dynamics redistribute energy across broad length scales in superfluids, how turbulence arises from instabilities, and how turbulence redistributes energy in multicomponent superfluids. The outcomes of this project will elucidate the links between quantum and classical fluids, and provide unambiguous tests of theoretical models in real-world systems. These results will be beneficial to the understanding of the physics of quantum superfluids, and will inform the engineering of quantum-enhanced devices that utilise trapped superfluid media for precision sensing.Read moreRead less
