Three Australian Universities Receive $6 Million AUS ($4.49M USD) to Research Error Tolerant Quan...

The funds are being provided by the Australia Department of Defence’s Next Generation Technologies Fund (NGTF) which will provide $2 million AUS each to Griffith University, the University of Technology Sydney, and the University of New South Wales. The funding will occur over a two years period and will expand the work that has been performed under the Australia—US Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (AUSMURI) program to enable error-tolerant quantum computers. The title of the project is "Quantum Control Based on Real-Time Environment Analysis by Spectator Qubits" with a goal to assess and experimentally implement a novel paradigm using spectator quantum systems for better control of qubits. Additional information is available in a news release from issued by Griffith University located here and also an article available on Australian Defence Magazine located here.
