The application of quantum mechanics to the creation of quantum technology promises to be one of the most exciting technological developments of this century. Possible applications of quantum technologies include vastly improved sensors to search for minerals or gravity waves, secure quantum cryptography, and quantum computing. Quantum feedback control is a key tool in quantum technology. This project will lay the foundations of systematic theories of robust, coherent and nonlinear quantum feedback control and lead to advances in the control of highly resonant systems which underlie experimental quantum and nano technology. This will enable Australia to reap great benefits as this new technological area emerges.Read moreRead less

Summary
Network on Control, Dynamics and Systems (NCDS). Control systems theory provides principles and methods for design of complex engineering systems that automatically maintain desired performance despite changes in their environment (e.g. autopilot in an aircraft). This field is facing many new exciting challenges at the dawn of new millenium, such as design of complex engineering systems in possibly networked, asynchronous and distributed environments. The network will play a major role in addres ....Network on Control, Dynamics and Systems (NCDS). Control systems theory provides principles and methods for design of complex engineering systems that automatically maintain desired performance despite changes in their environment (e.g. autopilot in an aircraft). This field is facing many new exciting challenges at the dawn of new millenium, such as design of complex engineering systems in possibly networked, asynchronous and distributed environments. The network will play a major role in addressing these challenges by providing a national research focus, facilitating collaboration and the sharing of people and ideas. By delivering a National Graduate School, the network will enhance learning conditions for graduate students. Moreover, it will provide an important catalyst between Australian universities and industry. This initiative will be essential in assessing the present state of control research in Australia and drafting a detailed plan for the network's leading research role in the future.

New Frontiers and Advances in Discrete Integrable Systems. Integrable systems boast a long and venerable history, and have such famous members as the Kepler system, the Korteweg-de Vries equation, and the sine-Gordon equation. More recently, interest in integrable systems has expanded to include systems with discrete time, that is, ordinary difference equations (or maps) and integrable partial difference equations. These discrete integrable systems are arguably more fundamental than the continuo ....New Frontiers and Advances in Discrete Integrable Systems. Integrable systems boast a long and venerable history, and have such famous members as the Kepler system, the Korteweg-de Vries equation, and the sine-Gordon equation. More recently, interest in integrable systems has expanded to include systems with discrete time, that is, ordinary difference equations (or maps) and integrable partial difference equations. These discrete integrable systems are arguably more fundamental than the continuous-time ones. Based upon recent breakthroughs this study will combine analysis, geometry, and computer algebra to expand and systematise this new interdisciplinary field of discrete integrable systems.Read moreRead less
