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 and hence build scalable quantum computers in silicon.
The announcement is featured in the UNSW Newsroom and on our ANFF National page
A special edition of Advanced Functional Materials has been published, focused on the fantastic work being conducted in ANFF labs across Australia.
The issue features research and reviews from all eight of ANFF’s Nodes, covering a huge gambit of ANFF-enabled projects with application areas ranging from quantum to biotechnologies, on to photonics and electronics, and more.
It provides a glimpse of some of the groundbreaking science conducted in Australia, and demonstrates that the ANFF-enabled national nanofabrication community is at the forefront of global research.

Congratulations to the ANFF-NSW@UNSW team for winning the UNSW Faculty of Engineering Professional and Technical Excellence Group Award. The ANFF-Team is a diverse international team which was nominated for their world class skills and commitment to enabling world-changing research at ANFF-NSW@UNSW. Their know-how in nanofabrication processes, tools, infrastructures and operations successfully delivers new research capabilities to the Australian innovation community at UNSW and beyond, including the recent addition of $1M of RIIP funded tools in the 2020/21 with more in store for 2022.
The ANFF-Team at UNSW delivers around 15-20,000 hours/year of usage of ANFF tools, backed by face-to-face training, to support over 350 researchers to achieve safe and successful research outcomes. The research innovations empowered by the ANFF Team has produced >500 publications acknowledging ANFF-NSW since inception (with >10,000 citations), including more than 40 publications in the Nature/Science grouping of journals (5 in 2021). These acknowledged publications also verify that the ANFF-Team supports over $140-200M of ARC and NHMRC grants, including: 4 CoE’s (CQC2T, FLEET, CBNS, Exciton Science), 3 Laurette fellows, 6 Future Fellows, 5 DECRA’s, and 15 Discovery Projects. Even during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic ANFF-NSW@UNSW remained open to support research throughout the pandemic. This was made possible by the ANFF-Team’s continuous adaption to implement upgraded COVID-safe protocols and engineering controls, such as live tracking of lab occupancy, to secure access to ANFF’s high-impact research facilities.
Overall the ANFF-team supports researchers across the discovery chain from early career researchers and start-ups to world-leading researchers across academia and industry, enabling Australian innovation to compete and collaborate on the world stage.
UNSW Engineering, Scientia Professor Andrea Morello has been awarded the 2021 Australian Institute of Physics NSW Award for Community Outreach. He has been recognised for his YouTube video series (with over 10 million views) explaining quantum engineering and his contributions to initiatives for engaging students, e.g. National Youth Science Forum (NYSF), World Science Festival and ABC Science ‘elevator’ pitch series, and more
