This project aims to develop fundamental theories and practical technologies for ultra-reliable low-latency communications – one of the grand challenges in 5G cellular networks. Due to the dynamic nature of wireless networks, existing approaches dividing networks into multiple layers cannot guarantee a hard deadline with high reliability. The outcomes of the project will be cross-layer models for characterising the end-to-end performance, a prediction and communication co-design framework for improving the delay-reliability trade-off, and an online architecture for implementing model-based algorithms in real networks. They will underpin the development of remote control and advancing automation in manufacturing, transportation, mining, etc.Read moreRead less

This project will exploit the recent advances in extending this game theory framework to multidimensional spaces, thereby strengthening the theoretical foundations. This will provide new insights into the working of algorithms, potentially improving future secure key distribution. Multi-agent interactions in higher dimensional spaces are considered intractable using traditional matrix methods and this project will build on our exciting new breakthrough showing that such interactions are tractable using geometric multivectors.Read moreRead less

Partitioning and ordering Steiner triple systems. Steiner triple systems are fundamental mathematical objects with many real-world applications. This project will develop deep new insights into these objects, resulting in systems allowing many users to simultaneously use a communication channel, and in schemes for preventing the loss of computer data due to hard disk failures.

This project aims to engineer novel quantum electronic devices based on strongly-coupled, one-dimensional superconducting microcircuits. These will be realised using chains of nanoscale superconducting islands fabricated on a chip. The project expects to achieve a special type of insulating state, where individual charges can be transported one by one. This would be significant as a primary standard that precisely links time (or frequency) to charge. The project also aims to create a current mirror device, in which a supercurrent sent down one chain induces a reflected supercurrent in the other, forming the basis of a new superconducting quantum bit. Other devices will be used to study a simplified model related to high temperature superconductors.Read moreRead less
