ANFF-NSW @UNSW

Professor Andrew Dzurak has stepped away from his role as Director of ANFF NSW in order to commercialise quantum computing technologies that he has been developing for the past 20 years. Professor François Ladouceur, a specialist in optics, photonics and computing at UNSW has been selected to take on the ANFF NSW Directorship. He is … Continue reading Change of leadership at ANFF-NSW

The future of Australia’s semiconductor industry is bright with New South Wales Minister for Science, Innovation and Technology, Alister Henskens, today announcing the establishment of the Semiconductor Sector Service Bureau (S3B). Supporting economic growth across critical local industries including health, defence and communications, S3B will enable advancements in semiconductor technologies, connecting companies, researchers and capabilities … Continue reading Securing Australia’s Semiconductor Capabilities

In a world-first, researchers at the UNSW Materials and Manufacturing Futures Institute (MMFI) fabricated an array of transparent field-effect transistors using a freestanding single-crystal strontium titanate (STO) membrane, with performance matching those of the current silicon-semiconductor field-effect transistors Their work, published last week in Nature, demonstrates the potential for large-scale fabrication of the 2D field-effect … Continue reading With tiny transistors, researchers pave the way for next-gen 2D technology

Jan 2022 “We are now the world leader, but we didn’t get here by accident. 15 years ago, our universities, government and industry came together and have continuously invested in this research over the last 15 years” Alister Henskens Minister for Science, Innovation and Technology toured the world leading research facilities at ANFF-NSW@UNSW and ANFF-NSW@USYD, … Continue reading High Praise:  NSW Minister for Science Innovation and Technology visits ANFF-NSW

Andrea Morello and his team have had a paper published in Nature and featured on the front cover of the journal. The paper ‘Precision tomography of a three-qubit donor quantum processor in silicon’ marks a major milestone for silicon quantum computing in demonstrating operations that are 99% error-free, high enough to detect and correct errors … Continue reading Quantum computing in silicon hits 99 per cent accuracy
