Funded Activity Summary

Develoment of a quantum repeater. Quantum information processing is a powerful emerging technology that aims to fully exploit the properties of quantum mechanics to perform computations and securely transmit information. This project will develop an essential component for this technology that will enable for the first time the direct and reversible transfer of quantum information between solid-state quantum systems and light. Successful completion of this project will provide a route to fully scalable quantum computing and long range quantum networks. This project will help secure Australia's leading role in this strategically important new generation technology.
