Griffith University is among a select of group universities chosen to conduct joint research with US universities on priority defence projects.
Griffith, along with University of NSW, Sydney University and the University of Technology Sydney, were announced by the Minister for Defence Industry, Christopher Pyne as the four Australian universities to help conduct the research, which will come under the auspices of the US Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI).
“This success is testament to the strength of quantum research at Griffith, and in our collaborating institutions” said Professor Howard Wiseman, who is the Director of Griffith’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics and one of the chief investigators in the project.
The MURI project, titled “quantum control based on real-time environment analysis by spectator qubits”, is led in Australia by Griffith Research Fellow Dr Gerardo Paz Silva.
