Qucom Pty Ltd is a company incorporated to commercialise the IP arising
from the quantum computing research effort centred at UNSW. This work aims
to develop computing technology at the atomic level through the creation of
few-qubit devices in silicon. The technology has the potential to
revolutionise computing particularly in relation to complex modeling and
analysis, and is attracting attention world-wide. Unisearch works closely
with a large and diverse research team, identifying and protecting IP, and
developing a robust strategy to promote and exploit the IP commercially. A
complex set of research and commercialisation relationships is being
managed, with partners in the US and Europe, and spanning research
institutes, government sector bodies, and major corporations. For further
information please contact Richard Sharp.

The Centre for Quantum Computer Technology is an Australian
multi-university collaboration undertaking research on the fundamental
physics and technology of building, at the atomic level, a solid state
quantum computer in silicon together with other high potential
implementations. The objective is underpinned by a vigorous semiconductor
research program that includes a sophisticated quantum measurement
capability at ultra-low temperatures.
Established in January 2000 through funds from the Australian Research
Council and participating institutions, the Centre has nodes at the
University of New South Wales, University of Queensland and University of
Melbourne, and maintains an important collaboration on this project with
Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States. The Centre encompasses
major research infrastructure at each of the three nodes, including an
extensive semiconductor nanofabrication facility, crystal growth, ion
implantation, surface analysis, laser physics, high magnetic fields/low
temperatures, and has substantial theoretical support.
