First-principles design of atomic defects for quantum technologies. This project aims to address the issue of designing and engineering better single-photon sources based on atomic defects in solids, a crucial building block for many quantum technologies. Using advanced first-principles quantum mechanical theories and calculations, the project expects to produce fundamental knowledge of key mechanisms and properties, and to use this to inform the design of new atomic defects for tailored applica ....First-principles design of atomic defects for quantum technologies. This project aims to address the issue of designing and engineering better single-photon sources based on atomic defects in solids, a crucial building block for many quantum technologies. Using advanced first-principles quantum mechanical theories and calculations, the project expects to produce fundamental knowledge of key mechanisms and properties, and to use this to inform the design of new atomic defects for tailored applications as quantum emitters. The expected outcomes, including novel methodologies, will contribute to different research areas, from condensed matter and materials physics to quantum science and technology. This project should provide significant benefits in accelerating quantum technology innovation in Australia.Read moreRead less

Designing and controlling superconducting circuits for quantum information processing. Superconducting circuits are the quantum version of the standard electric circuits and, as the electric circuit did for the electronics industry, they promise a revolution for quantum technologies. This project aims to design superconducting circuits that are more robust to noise and useful for quantum information processing.
