Funded Activity Summary

Upgrading Australia's highest magnetic field facility for high speed measurements of quantum devices at cryogenic temperatures. Electronic devices are a trillion dollar industry, and underpin our information-based society. Research at liquid helium temperatures (below -270 ºC) is an essential step in developing new electronic devices, and has resulted in breakthroughs such as the laser, the high capacity hard disc drive, and the high speed chips used for satellite telecommunications. This proposal will upgrade Australia's existing capabilities to allow ultra-high speed measurements of advanced nanoscale devices at temperatures close to absolute zero, and in magnetic fields up to 17 Tesla, allowing Australia to continue play a leading role in the development of quantum technologies.
