Facilities

The Atom Optics Laboratory at the University of Queensland explores applications of ultracold degenerate atomic systems. These include problems of fundamental physics interest, utilising ultracold atoms to produce emulations of other quantum systems and classical/quantum phase transitions.

The Diamond Nanoscience Laboratory is based at Macquarie University and is part of the Quantum Materials and Applications Group (QMAPP) led by Dr Thomas Volz.

During 2014, the Quantum Materials and Applications group set up a home-built state-of-the-art CO2 -laser machining and imaging facility at Macquarie University for the fabrication of curved mirror substrates at the end of optical fibres.

The Frequency and Quantum Metrology Laboratory, run by CI Michael Tobar, has a long history of research in precision measurement, materials characterisation, ultra-high Q-factor resonators, and the development of frequency stable, low phase noise instruments with world-class precision and performance.

The newly established low-temperature cavity QED laboratory at CSIRO Lindfield complements the facilities and experiments of the Nanodiamond Laboratory at Macquarie University.

The QIRON (Quantum Interactions with Nanoparticles) laboratory is based at Macquarie University.

The Quantum Technology Laboratory at the University of Queensland is focussed on emulating both natural and engineered quantum systems by using quantum photonics, a proven and flexible architecture for investigating exotic quantum phenomena, to enable new applications from secure communications through to impro

The Quantum Control Laboratory (QCL) was formed in 2010 with the appointment of Associate Professor Biercuk to a continuing faculty position at the University of Sydney.

The Quantum Nanoscience Laboratory at the University of Sydney offers extensive measurement capability combining ultra-low temperatures (three dilution fridges with based temperatures below 10 millikelvin) with a suite of radio and microwave frequency electronics and test equipment.

The Queensland Quantum Optics Laboratory at the University of Queensland undertakes research in the quantum physics of microscale optical devices, with the aims of both testing fundamental physics, and developing quantum technologies with future applications in metrology, communication, and compu

In 2011, a new low temperature laboratory called the Superconducting Nano-Devices Laboratory, focussed on experiments with nano-structured superconducting quantum devices based on Josephson junctions was established at the University of New South Wales by Professor Timothy Duty.

Superconducting quantum circuits are artificial structures with a possibility to design and engineer their key properties.
