The project aims to develop breakthrough technology for generating the complex radio and microwave pulses that underpin the revolution in quantum computing and quantum sensing. Quantum technologies are rapidly emerging from laboratory to real-world applications including neural imaging, defence surveillance, and mining exploration, but further advances require increased precision and flexibility in controlling the quantum states at the heart of these new capabilities. Our innovative and more flexible approach to signal generation requires a fraction of the size, weight, power and cost of conventional approaches, enabling the translation of quantum technology to commercial practicality.Read moreRead less

Summary
Integrated photonic quantum simulators for quantum chemistry. This project aims to develop the first generation quantum processors specifically designed to efficiently solve problems in quantum chemistry that are intractable on conventional computers. To remove the major limitations that plague current approaches, and achieve devices of unprecedented size and complexity, this project will use photonic technology and integrate, for the first time, all the critical components on a single chip.

This project aims to develop the first generation quantum processors specifically designed to efficiently solve problems in quantum chemistry that are intractable on conventional computers. To remove the major limitations that plague current approaches, and achieve devices of unprecedented size and complexity, this project will use photonic technology and integrate, for the first time, all the critical components on a single chip. These components are single photon sources, processing circuits and single photon detectors. The outputs of this project will have applications ranging from the design of new materials and drugs to determining the results of internet search engines.Read moreRead less

This project aims to develop experimental and theoretical tools for increasing security in the future quantum networks. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of quantum communication by leveraging on the properties of high-dimensional quantum systems. Expected outcomes of this project include novel protocols for quantum secret sharing that are resistant to experimental noise and an experimental implementation of such protocols. This should provide significant benefits to the development of the quantum internet and its security.Read moreRead less
