Dopant engineering of diamond for quantum sensing technologies. Doped diamonds are central to a growing range of quantum-sensing technologies for future industries, including medical and defence. These diamonds must be doped with both an electron donors and active 'quantum-defects' to operate. Within existing devices, the electronic donors also create parasitic magnetic noise, due to their magnetic-spin properties.

Doped diamonds are central to a growing range of quantum-sensing technologies for future industries, including medical and defence. These diamonds must be doped with both an electron donors and active 'quantum-defects' to operate. Within existing devices, the electronic donors also create parasitic magnetic noise, due to their magnetic-spin properties. In this project we aim to investigate the growth of diamond with new electronic donors, aiming for spin-free and thus noise-free dopant properties. This should provide significant benefits to defence capability, through enhanced magnetic anomaly detection in naval environments, and health outcomes, through neural sensing of brain signals at room temperature.Read moreRead less

Summary
100 Gbit to 1 Terabit per second optical communication test bed facility. This facility will develop and demonstrate novel optical technologies that will underpin the generation and transmission of a higher-speed Ethernet at 100 Gb/s to 1Terabit/s, and will lead to better broadband and more energy efficient internet. At the foundation of this research will be a test bed with multiple signal sources at data rates above 50 Gbaud.

The Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics will deliver breakthroughs in our understanding of the Universe through the pursuit of the discovery of dark matter particles which comprise 80% of the mass of the universe. It assembles for the first time a strong and diverse team of physicists from particle, nuclear, and quantum physics as well as particle astrophysics. It will deliver high-profile experiments using new cutting-edge technologies. The Centre will exploit the unique geographical location of the first underground physics lab in the Southern Hemisphere. The ultra-sensitive detectors and ultra-low radiation techniques will translate into a broad range of industrial applications and train a new generation of scientists.Read moreRead less
Ultra-fast serialised all optical image processing: addressing the electronic bottleneck in the world's fastest camera. Serial time encoded amplified microscopy can capture over a million frames per second. At this rate, a megapixel image would fill a terabyte hard disk in a second. We will use photonics to condense and manipulated the video stream so that only the important features are 'seen', making it practical to process and store on a computer.
