Australian Research Centres of Excellence

The School of Mathematics and Physics host nodes of three Australian Research Council Centres of Excellence.

	The Centre for Quantum Computer Technology (led by University of New South Wales) is an Australian multi-university collaboration researching the fundatmental physics and technology of building, at the atomic level, a solid state quantum computer in silicon together with other high potential implementations. The centre also conducts semiconductor research, including a sophisticated quantum measurement capability at ultra-low temperatures.

	The Centre for Mathematical and Statistical Modelling of Complex Systems (led by the University of Melbourne) combines researchers in different areas of mathematics and statistics with an interest in understanding the behaviour of complex systems.

	The Centre for Quantum-Atom Optics (led by Austalian National University) combines Australian theoretical and experimental research groups to create a powerful network to advance the rapidly developing field of quantum atom optics. The Centre aims to build a quantum toolbox to enable applications such as the transfer and storage of information for photonics, and precision quantum control of atoms for enhanced atom interferometry.
