UNSW Sydney's world-leading researchers will take on topics including the secret to happiness, the medicinal benefits of psychedelics and reversing the impact of climate change.
UNSW Sydney's Veena Sahajwalla has received one of Australia’s most prestigious research awards for her globally recognised waste transformation technologies.
Projects include unlocking the full potential of low-cost solar cells, determining fossilisation processes of a rare fossil site, and improving the effectiveness of child and family services.
Australian researchers have found the ideal position for qubits in silicon - a development that will help them to scale up atom-based quantum computers.
A team led by UNSW scientists have significantly increased the coherence time of a spin-orbit qubit in silicon, allowing them to preserve quantum information for longer. These results open up a new pathway to scale silicon quantum computers.
Research teams from UNSW are investigating multiple pathways to scale up atom-based computing architectures using spin-orbit coupling – advancing towards their goal of building a silicon-based quantum computer in Australia.
The race is on to build the first reproducable two qubit gate in silicon - the building block for a scalable silicon-based quantum computer. UNSW Sydney-led scientists have shown for the first time that they can make two precisely placed phosphorous atom qubits “talk” to each other.
Australian quantum researchers have been able to identify the exact location of a single atom in a silicon crystal – an important development for building a silicon-based quantum computer.
