Our aim is to explore and exploit the full range of quantum behaviours—
notably entanglement—with an eye to engineering new technologies and scientific applications.
- 21/10/2020: What are the applications of quantum technology in our lives right now? And where could quantum take us in the not-too-distant future? Come join Jacqui Romero, Shaun Wilson, Andre Luiten, and Andrew as they unpack these questions at the Cicada Innovations Monthly Buzz.
- 20/10/2020: Interested in Quantum Technology programmes around the world? Come join Alexandre Blais, Aleksey Fedorov, Peter Knight, Jürgen Mlynek, Jian-Wei Pan, Michael Raymer, Akihisa Tomita, and Andrew at the Quantum Programmes Panel at Quantum 2020.
- 24/08/2020: Our paper on
Increasing communication capacity via superposition of order, appeared today in
Physical Review Research. Congratulations Kaumudi, Ya, Gerardo, and Jacqui—may it be the first of many cross-river papers!
- 26/06/2020: Goodness, we made the cover of PRL this issue! As Jacqui points out, this is proof you can make the cover even after two rejections. What a nice surprise in a year
otherwise full of terrible surprises.
- 23/06/2020: Always quick off the mark: phys.org has a very nice write-up of our paper,
Quantum physics provides a way to hide ignorance. Recommended!
- 22/06/2020: It's exam time at UQ, and in a piece of beautiful timing, our paper showing how to use quantum mechanics to cheat on exams,
Hiding Ignorance Using High Dimensions, appeared today in Physical Review Letters. Congratulations
Michael, Sally, and Jacqui—it was a lot of fun from whoa to go!
- 22/05/2020: Come join us as CSIRO—Australia's national science agency and innovation catalyst—launches a roadmap outlining a vision for Growing Australia’s Quantum Technology Industry. Panellists include Cathy Foley, Michael Biercuk, Michelle Simmons, Phil Morle, Dale Lambert, Maya Cassidy, Vikram Sharma, and Andrew.
- 24/02/2020: What a great start to the year! Today Sebastian Malewicz starts his Masters and Fatemeh Mohit starts her
Honours in the QT Lab. Welcome to the lab Sebastian and Fatemeh, it's great to have you both join us!
- 29/01/2020: It's with great sadness that today we say farewell to Raphahel Abrahão, who leaves us after 4 years in Australia—where
he produced a PhD and two wonderful children!—to join the inimitable Jeff Lundeen and his team as a Postdoctoral Scientist.
The very best of luck Raphael, and send us photos of the kids when they see snow for the first time!
- 04/10/2019: My goodness that went quickly: Andrew joined the University of Queensland twenty years ago today and almost immediately began making
trouble. It's been a blast so far, here's to the next two decades!
- 30/09/2019: Our paper on Optimal Imaging of Remote Bodies Using Quantum Detectors appeared today
in Physical Review Letters, featuring not just one by several pictures of Dory in grey. Many congratulations to the Australian team of Lewis, Geoff, and Raphael, and the the UK team of
Mark and Pieter—let's work together again soon!
- 25/09/2019: Steve Flammia and Andrew discuss Google's latest result in this thoughtful article by
Suzannah Lyons at ABC News,
Google says it's achieved 'quantum supremacy'. What does this actually mean?
- 04/09/2019: There's a nice write-up in today's UQ News of Michael Kewming's Three-Minute Thesis talk,
Top secret: writing with a quantum alphabet. Go check it out!
- 05/08/2019: Today was the Three Minute Thesis competition in the
Faculty of Science. Many and proud congratulations to the People's Choice
winner, Leonardo Assis! Leo is now off to the University of Queensland wildcard competition: we are keeping our fingers tightly crossed!
- 05/08/2019: In today's Frankfurter Allgemeine Manfred Lindinger has written a very nice article indeed on our hypercube paper,
Schrödingers Katze bekommt Familienzuwachs, roughly,
Schrödingers cat is getting a
family. Go check it out!
- 10/07/2019: Our paper on Quantum Hypercube States appeared today in
Physical Review Letters. Many congratulations to Lewis, Till, Farid, Joshua, Michael and Martin: it was a genuinely enthralling project!
