Solid Light: Frontiers and applications of solid-state Cavity Quantum Electro-Dynamics [ 2008 - 2012 ]

Research Grant

Researchers Dr AD Greentree; Dr WJ Munro

Brief description Our understanding of quantum mechanics directly fuels new technology. We are on the verge of a new revolution in technology, where the aspects of quantum physics that we haven't been able to understand are now within technological reach. Our concept of solid-light joins two of the most important branches of physics, and in so doing develops a new technology of diamond-based quantum processors that will be built in Australia. This will benefit the Australian scientific community by providing devices to solve important quantum problems, and benefit the wider community by growing a new industry based around diamond quantum nanoscience.
