Distributed quantum networks with cascaded superconducting circuits. At the heart of all communication is the need to establish strong correlations between remote sites. The non-local character of quantum correlations enables new communication protocols that are impossible with classical resources alone. This project aims to realise a novel class of superconducting devices capable of establishing quantum correlations between distant electronic chips through long-range irreversible interactions. ....Distributed quantum networks with cascaded superconducting circuits. At the heart of all communication is the need to establish strong correlations between remote sites. The non-local character of quantum correlations enables new communication protocols that are impossible with classical resources alone. This project aims to realise a novel class of superconducting devices capable of establishing quantum correlations between distant electronic chips through long-range irreversible interactions. The resulting technology will enable completely new approaches to quantum information processing in superconducting quantum circuits and provide a powerful platform to test the limits of the ability to engineer macroscopic quantum systems.Read moreRead less

Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 7 Tesla: Resolving the fundamental radiofrequency field-tissue interaction problem at ultra-high field. Ultra-high-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems offer the potential for faster, more accurate diagnostic imaging. However, current applications are limited by the fundamental challenge of strong interactions between the electromagnetic field and human tissues, which result in poor image quality and/or compromised patient safety. Using a novel, s ....Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 7 Tesla: Resolving the fundamental radiofrequency field-tissue interaction problem at ultra-high field. Ultra-high-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems offer the potential for faster, more accurate diagnostic imaging. However, current applications are limited by the fundamental challenge of strong interactions between the electromagnetic field and human tissues, which result in poor image quality and/or compromised patient safety. Using a novel, subject-specific imaging approach, this research will design and develop an ultra-high-field radiofrequency technology capable of offering high-performance imaging without jeopardising patient safety. This research will lay the groundwork for the translation of ultra-high field MRI research into clinical practice, generating new capabilities for diagnostic technologies.Read moreRead less
