Description

Engineered Quantum Systems - EQUS logo

Macquarie University
$1,000,000
The centre aims to understand the quantum world in its full complexity and apply this to the construction of true quantum machines.

The Centre will build complex, multi-component quantum machines to harness the quantum world for practical applications. It will also pioneer the designer quantum materials, quantum engines, and quantum imaging systems at the heart of these machines

Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology - QCCT logo

UNSW Sydney
$1,000,000
The Centre will implement quantum processors to run error corrected algorithms and transfer information across networks with absolute security.

ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science logo

UNSW Sydney
$100,000
The Centre seeks to understand how photons interact with advanced molecular materials in order to improve the way we harness and use light energy.

ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies - FLEET logo

UNSW Sydney
$100,000
The Centre aims to realise new materials and systems that can provide electronic conduction with exponentially small electrical resistance at room temperature, enabling revolutionary new device and interconnect technologies with ultra-low power consumption.

ARC Centre of excellence in Population Ageing Research - CEPAR logo

UNSW Sydney
$1,000,000
The Centre aims to generate crucial new knowledge to inform social and economic responses to one of the most important issues of the 21st century: population ageing.

ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage logo

University of Wollongong
$1,000,000
The Centre aims to establish an innovative program of research and research training to transform our understanding of Australia’s natural and human history from 130,000 years ago until European arrival.
UNSW Sydney
$1,000,000
The Centre will be the world’s first fully integrated centre focused explicitly on the understanding and prediction of climate extremes. This understanding will be built into the Australian prediction system, thereby improving our capability to predict extremes into the future.
