Funded Activity 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. 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.
