Robust quantum information and metrology. Quantum technologies promise a revolution in computing speed and measurement precision, but are currently sensitive to noise and difficult to demonstrate on a large scale. This project will develop practical solutions to these problems, providing a clear path to future production of large-scale quantum technologies.
Fundamental quantum science for advancing optical quantum technologies. Quantum science promises a technology revolution comparable to the emergence of the information age. This project will advance the quantum technology revolution by uncovering new concepts in fundamental quantum science, and applying them to the development of absolutely secure communications, ultraprecise measurements, and ultrafast information processing.
Quantum noise limited molecular spectrometry. This project will develop a new technology for chemical analysis using lasers. The research will produce more accurate instruments for analysing samples containing carbon dioxide and water. This technology has a surprisingly wide array of applications. For example, sensitive analysis of carbon dioxide will help law enforcement agencies identify the location of illicit drug manufacturing, test for performance enhancing drug use by elite athletes, and ....Quantum noise limited molecular spectrometry. This project will develop a new technology for chemical analysis using lasers. The research will produce more accurate instruments for analysing samples containing carbon dioxide and water. This technology has a surprisingly wide array of applications. For example, sensitive analysis of carbon dioxide will help law enforcement agencies identify the location of illicit drug manufacturing, test for performance enhancing drug use by elite athletes, and monitor greenhouse gases. The instrument for analysing water will improve water resource management in Australia. This program will result in commercial instruments that are sensitive, portable and affordable.Read moreRead less
