Our research in quantum science and technology combines both experimental and theoretical approaches to explore the fundamental principles of quantum physics and their real-world applications. We investigate how quantum systems can be harnessed for advanced sensing, secure communication, and next-generation computing, while deepening our understanding of quantum systems at the most fundamental level.
PhysicsQuantum Science and Technology
Quantum Science
We explore the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, combining theory and experiments to understand the behaviour of matter and light at the smallest scales. Our work underpins advances across quantum technologies, from quantum many-body physics and information to precision measurement.
Quantum Computing and Simulation
We develop platforms for quantum computation and simulation that exploit quantum interference and entanglement to solve problems beyond the reach of classical computers. Our research spans hardware platforms, algorithms, and applications in chemistry, materials, and complex systems.
Quantum Sensing
We use quantum systems to achieve ultra-precise measurements of time, fields, and forces. By harnessing quantum coherence, we push the limits of sensitivity for applications ranging from fundamental physics to navigation and imaging, and ultimately providing resilience for critical national-scale infrastructure.
Quantum Communications
We investigate secure communication methods based on quantum principles, including quantum key distribution and quantum networks. Our work aims to enable fundamentally secure data transfer and lay the foundations for a global quantum internet.
Enabling Quantum Technologies
We develop the critical components and subsystems needed to drive advanced quantum systems. Our work on lasers, photonic integrated circuits, and atomic platforms is at the core of state-of-the-art quantum clocks, magnetometers, networks, and computing.
