What was once the domain of theoretical physics — things existing in multiple states — is now laying the foundation for a technological revolution.
The era of quantum is no longer a distant horizon; it’s unfolding now, reshaping how we compute, communicate, and sense the world around us. From ultra-secure networks to problem-solving capabilities beyond classical limits, quantum technologies are moving from the lab into everyday life.
At this turning point, the QUT Centre for Materials Science is scaling its quantum ambitions with purpose and precision.
Building on our current capabilities listed below, we are unlocking new budget to fund a wave of ambitious projects aimed at expanding our research and real-world impact. As part of this effort, we are actively seeking to connect with organizations and collaborators who share our commitment to pushing the boundaries of quantum science.
If you’re interested in driving the quantum agenda forward, we’d love to hear from you.
Let’s shape the quantum future together.
Our current capabilities include:
- Diamond-based cryogenic electronics for quantum computing
- New advanced materials that exploit quantum phenomena in pursuit of solutions to challenges in sensing, next-generation electronics, energy conversion and storage
- Scalable quantum device fabrication using the quantum mechanical properties of graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMCs), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and their heterostructures
- Quantum confinement effects in one-dimensional nanostructures on silicon surfaces
