Summary
Developing the next generation of single and entangled photon sources. Low noise and efficient sources of single and entangled photons are important resources to implement a scalable platform for large-scale quantum information tasks. This project will develop the prototypes for these sources which will be suitable for a wide range of interesting applications in quantum information.

Summary
Lithium niobate integrated quantum photonics for cluster state quantum information with continuous variables. A quantum computer capable of solving important problems exponentially faster than any classical machine will have a huge impact in science, technology and society. This project targets this goal using photons as quantum information carriers and miniaturising state of the art quantum optics experiments with innovative micron-size waveguide devices.
Broadband quantum networking with trapped ions. Banks and governments are now using short-range quantum communication to transmit data with secrecy guaranteed by the laws of physics. This project aims to develop the key ingredient for future broadband quantum networks: high-speed transmitters delivering quantum light pulses over present-day fibre-optic telecom infrastructure.

Summary
Energy-efficient artificial intelligence using quantum technologies. Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming society but standard technologies come with significant hidden costs: training even a single, common, learning model can emit 5 times more carbon dioxide than the lifetime emissions of the average car. This Fellowship aims to develop artificial intelligence platforms using Australia’s significant investment in quantum technologies to bypass traditional approaches to AI. The expected ....Energy-efficient artificial intelligence using quantum technologies. Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming society but standard technologies come with significant hidden costs: training even a single, common, learning model can emit 5 times more carbon dioxide than the lifetime emissions of the average car. This Fellowship aims to develop artificial intelligence platforms using Australia’s significant investment in quantum technologies to bypass traditional approaches to AI. The expected outcomes are neuromorphic computers that operate efficiently—with low-energy cost—and rapidly—achieving speeds impossible with conventional electronic approaches. The anticipated benefits are transformative technologies for AI, new applications across society, and new tools for exploring brain function and cognition.Read moreRead less
