These quantum technologies will build off world leading techniques to confine and manipulate light on a silicon chip, and have broad ramifications for future computing, medical, and sensing systems. New quantum architectures will be developed for information science, promising vast improvements over current systems; and new biological sensing systems with world leading sensitivity will be implemented with important applications in the early detection of debilitating diseases. This research will raise Australia's profile as a world leader in science and technology, building on our already significant presence in quantum technology.Read moreRead less

Summary
Ultra high vacuum scanning probe microscope facility. Ultra high-vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy underpins advances in the understanding of novel materials for electronics, engineering and medical applications, including thin-films, nanostructures, advanced semiconductors, nanostructured (organic or inorganic) conductors, and nanoscale interfaces (heteronanostructures). It is a core technique underpinning the new Superscience agenda in Future Technologies. A number of present and future re ....Ultra high vacuum scanning probe microscope facility. Ultra high-vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy underpins advances in the understanding of novel materials for electronics, engineering and medical applications, including thin-films, nanostructures, advanced semiconductors, nanostructured (organic or inorganic) conductors, and nanoscale interfaces (heteronanostructures). It is a core technique underpinning the new Superscience agenda in Future Technologies. A number of present and future research fields will benefit from the presence of this instrument, which will enhance Australia's competitiveness in nanotechnology research and development. Training of PhD and graduate students in this area is essential to exploit the potentiality of nanotechnology for the future benefit of Australia.Read moreRead less

The infrastructure developed will be of national /international significance, given the rapid emergence of wireless sensor networks. This integrated facility will allow Australia to be a world leading player in the research and technology development as well as the socially responsible deployment of sensor networks. The facility has the explicit aim to ensure that Australia is a technology leader rather than solely a technology user in sensor networks. The test facility will mirror practical requirements for WSN implementation in the Great Barrier Reef and in timber plantation, which would offer substantial economic benefits to Australia.Read moreRead less
