Top physics prizes awarded to ANFF-NSW users

Two UNSW Sydney researchers have been awarded prestigious medals by the Australian Institute of Physics (AIP). The medals recognise outstanding achievements in physics at various career stages.

Scientia Professor Andrea Morello, UNSW Engineering won the 2019 Walter Boas Medal for Excellence in Research, the senior award for research excellence in physics in the country.

Dr Samuel Gorman, UNSW Science won the 2019 Bragg Gold Medal for Excellence in Physics. The Bragg Gold Medal recognises the PhD student who is judged to have completed the most outstanding PhD thesis in physics at an Australian university in the past year.

New thinking needed for tech commercialisation

In an article titled “New thinking needed for tech commercialisation” published by InnovationAus today, ANFF chief executive Dr Ian Griffiths talks about how ANFF can be used to bridge the gap between early-stage technology, capital markets and research infrastructure.

‘Missing jigsaw piece’: engineers make critical advance in quantum computer design

Quantum engineers from UNSW Sydney have removed a major obstacle that has stood in the way of quantum computers becoming a reality: they discovered a new technique they say will be capable of controlling millions of spin qubits – the basic units of information in a silicon quantum processor.

Published today in Science Advances, the team led by Dr Jarryd Pla, and Scientia Professor Andrew Dzurak have found what they consider ‘the missing jigsaw piece’ in the quantum computer architecture that should enable the control of
the millions of qubits needed for extraordinarily complex calculations.

Their work is featured on the ABC website  and UNSW Newsroom
