UNSW has cemented its reputation as a leader in world-class research, receiving $91 million for three national centres of excellence in quantum computing, climate extremes and the ageing population.

San Francisco

Atlassian’s Scott Farquhar and quantum computing leader Michelle Simmons will be among speakers at the inaugural showcase of UNSW's entrepreneurs and innovators in San Francisco this week.

Researchers from the Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T) have solved a key challenge in the drive towards building a silicon-based quantum computer – one which could lead to more precise quantum logic operations.

Quantum art

Inspired by UNSW’s ground-breaking research, Steven Durbach's paintings, animations, and other artworks express the beauty of the ideas at the heart of quantum physics.
