Explore, explain and exploit the quantum world
We aim to understand and control quantum systems, and use this to develop important new applications such as the quantum internet and laser-accelerated particle therapy.
Congratulations
Congratulations to Dr Nora Tischler who is a 2023 Young Tall Poppy Award winner. Nora's work on secure communication systems based on quantum physics, could help protect sensitive information such as medical records and financial transactions. Quantum computers could solve problems that are currently difficult, leading to advances in fields from healthcare to finance.
