Funded Activity Summary

Solid state optical quantum information technology. There is a significant effort in Australia and around the world to develop quantum information technologies. This project, by demonstrating a suite of critical building blocks for quantum information processing, will support Australia's strong position in this emerging technology. A major motivation for the effort directed at quantum information technologies is the impact they will have on the security of data transmission, both in breaking existing encryptions and implementing new encryption systems. The successful completion of this project will provide the essential components for a secure long distance quantum communication network.
