Summary
Advanced Microwave Facility for Quantum-Atom Optics. Atoms can be controlled using light in visible and infra-red regions, as well as electromagnetic waves of longer wavelength in the microwave (MW) and radiofrequency (RF) part of the spectrum. We presently use optical radiation to control atoms at the quantum level where they can behave like waves and can interact with light to store and manipulate information. The MW and RF facility will extend our abilities and enable more complete control of ....Advanced Microwave Facility for Quantum-Atom Optics. Atoms can be controlled using light in visible and infra-red regions, as well as electromagnetic waves of longer wavelength in the microwave (MW) and radiofrequency (RF) part of the spectrum. We presently use optical radiation to control atoms at the quantum level where they can behave like waves and can interact with light to store and manipulate information. The MW and RF facility will extend our abilities and enable more complete control of the atoms, which will help us develop the first generation quantum technology. This will enable the creation of quantum devices such as atom lasers, atom interferometers and quantum information networks for communication and ultra-sensitive measurement applications.Read moreRead less

This network will develop theoretical, experimental and computational techniques addressing key issues in physics, chemistry, biology and geosciences. Scope will be wide-ranging and inclusive. We anticipate making major developments in the design and understanding of absolute X-ray Absorption Fine Structure, X-ray, Neutron and Electron Diffraction, Electron Density Mapping, Molecular and Cluster computations and Powder Diffraction for fundamental research, biomedical and industrial applications. These breakthroughs will be invaluable for the development of Australia's major research infrastructure (the synchrotron, electron microscopes, and the research reactor). This will develop Australian expertise and collaboration at the cutting edge of a variety of interdisciplinary fields.Read moreRead less

Quantum science is the precise study of the physical world in the nanoscopic realm. It accurately predicts a wide range of physical phenomena that have no classical analogues. Understanding and controlling these quantum phenomena will play an increasingly important role in transforming 21st century technologies. This fellowship aims to realise the potential of combining optical, mechanical, and atomic systems in the quantum regime to deliver quantum enhancement to a range of applications such as future-proofing information security via quantum cryptography and improving sensor technology with quantum measurement.Read moreRead less
