Summary
Quantum entanglement using slow-light-enhanced nonlinearity. The project will develop the fundamental science for creating quantum entanglement in micro- and nano-scale photonic devices so that thousands of these devices can be placed onto a single chip. This is the key to building practical quantum technologies that will make communications much more secure and computations many times faster.

Unleashing terahertz radiation through the marriage of solid state laser and photonic crystal technology. Terahertz (THz) radiation holds enormous potential to improve the security and well being of Australians, but its application has been largely restricted to the laboratory. By using photonic crystals (structures responsible for shimmer of opals and butterfly wings) this project will generate a new technology enabling its practical and widespread application.

The CMOS Quantum Processor: A path to scalable quantum computing. The project aims to develop a quantum computer processor based on a new technology developed by Professor Dzurak in 2014-15. Remarkably, the qubits, or processing elements, utilise the silicon metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors that constitute today’s microprocessor chips, so existing production plants can be used to fast-track development.

The project aims to develop a quantum computer processor based on a new technology developed by Professor Dzurak in 2014-15. Remarkably, the qubits, or processing elements, utilise the silicon metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors that constitute today’s microprocessor chips, so existing production plants can be used to fast-track development. The project will realise proof-of-principle systems with 10-20 qubits, to resolve critical issues related to readout, error correction, and long-distance on-chip coupling, to take the technology to a commercial-ready stage. Quantum computing is one of the great scientific challenges of this century, with important applications in pharmaceutical design, finance and national security.Read moreRead less
Nanophotonic metamaterials as anti-counterfeit devices in Australian banknotes. This project will demonstrate the application of novel materials as the basis for next generation security features on banknotes. Such elements play a key role in maintaining the integrity of Australia's currency since they present a significant barrier to counterfeiting.
Nanostructured films for optical document security. This project aims to develop a new class of synthetic thin films, with unique optical signatures as strong anti-counterfeiting features for future generations of Australian banknotes. The project expects to produce novel, ultra-thin films patterned on the nanoscale that produce vivid, easily recognisable optical effects building on recent advances in nanophotonic optical design and scalable nanofabrication strategies.

The project expects to produce novel, ultra-thin films patterned on the nanoscale that produce vivid, easily recognisable optical effects building on recent advances in nanophotonic optical design and scalable nanofabrication strategies. The development of a range of optical security features in Australia will ensure long-term confidence in our currency. An outcome of the project could be the commercialisation of new types of anti-counterfeiting features for use in Australia and overseas.Read moreRead less

Ultraviolet to mid-infrared fluorescence spectrometer for use in mineral analysis, radiation dosimetry and laser materials characterisation: This project will provide equipment with a vast capability to collect ultraviolet to mid-infrared fluorescence with high temporal measurement accuracy, and highly flexible excitation (spectral and temporal). This will enhance active research into new glasses and laser crystals, probing of defect states resulting from ionising radiation absorption in environmental and medical dosimetry materials, investigation of novel fluorescence techniques for mineral identification, through to improving chemical detection capability (for example, detection of explosives). The instrument comprises modules that enable excitation in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared from a tunable laser system, and high-efficiency collection and processing of fluorescence spectra.Read moreRead less
