Collaborations
Staff of the Centre currently work with researchers in Australia and 11 other countries, in a total of 38 collaborating institutions.
Partnerships
Physical Sciences, Area of Strategic Investment, Griffith University
The Centre for Quantum Dynamics and the Queensland Micro- and Nanotechnology Centre combine to form the Physical Sciences strategic research initiative at the University.
Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology
The Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology was established as an Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in 2011. It has research programs at six Australian Institutions: University of New South Wales, Australian National University, University of Melbourne, Griffith University, University of Queensland, UNSW@ADFA and University of Sydney.
Griffith University hosts two Programs, "Quantum Information Theory" lead by Prof. Howard Wiseman, and "Optical Quantum Information" lead by Assoc. Prof. Geoff Pryde.
Centre of Excellence for Coherent X-Ray Science
Since 2009 CQD has also hosted a node of the ARC Centre of Excellence, the Centre of Excellence for Coherent X-Ray Science. It has researchers at the University of Melbourne, La Trobe University, Monash University and CSIRO as well as in our Attosecond science facility, with Chief Investigators Dr. Dave Kielpinski and Associate Professor Robert Sang.
Perimeter Institute Australia Foundations
This partnership unites the Centre with researchers in participating institutions (the Perimeter Insitute, the University of Sydney, and the University of Queensland) in the common goal of understand quantum mechanics at the deepest level. The PIAF Collaboration in CQD is lead by Prof. Howard Wiseman and supports Research Fellow Samuel Colin, who will share his time between CQD and the Perimeter Institute.
The second PIAF workshop will be held in Brisbane in December 2010.
Max Planck Centre for Attosecond Science
The Max Planck Centre for Attosecond Science (MPC-AS) is a collaborative network established in 2010 in order to promote international cooperation in the field of Attosecond Science and Technology between the Max Planck Society and research groups in the Asia-Pacific region.
It links CQD’s researchers in the Australian Attosecond Science Facility – Associate Professors Dave Kielpinski (Director), Igor Litvinyuk, and Robert Sang – with the following international partners. In Germany: the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, the Max Planck Research Department for Structural Dynamics at the Centre for Free- Electron Laser Science, the Max Planck Institute for Physics of Complex Systems and the Fritz Haber Institute. In Korea: the Pohang University of Science and Technology. In Japan: the Institute for Solid State Physics of the University of Tokyo. In China: the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics.
