Dr Jacq Romero has been named a 2017 L'Oréal Australia Women in Science Fellow! She is a member of our photonic quantum computation team at The University of Queensland - UQ and received the award for her work creating quantum “alphabets” using the orbital angular momentum of light. Congratulations Jacq!

Congrats to Prof Pryde and his team who have shown for the first time that it's possible to surpass the shot-noise limit, which had prevented scientists from achieving the theoretical limits of super-sensitive measurement.

The results are out today in Nature Photonics. Access the full paper here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-017-0011-5

In the future, this kind of method could enable scientists to measure material with very little light at all.

Parallel universes – worlds where the dinosaur-killing asteroid never hit, or where Australia was colonised by the Portuguese – are a staple of science fiction. But are they real? In a radical paper published…

Major leap towards practical building blocks for a global quantum internet: A. Prof Matt Sellars and his team at The Australian National University have a new paper out in Nature Physics demonstrating coherence times of more than 1 second for an erbium-doped crystal, which they say is the perfect material for a telecom-compatible quantum memory to network the world's future quantum computers.

No physics lecture is complete without dipping some everyday objects into a vat of liquid nitrogen...

This week CQC2T is hosting five budding scientists on the Quantum Experience Program, created to engage and motivate young women with an interest in quantum computing, physics or engineering. This morning our visitors were treated to a talk on the bloch sphere and cryogenic dilution refrigerators by Dr Arne Laucht and Dr Vincent Mourik, followed by this neat little trick.

Last night CQC2T PhD student Mark Hogg won the UNSW Physics competition. He and fellow PhD student Gabe de Boo will go on to represent the school at the faculty competition later this year.

In the meantime, Mark gets to fly over the South Pole, talking physics with passengers on an Antarctic flight!

"The immediate implication of the experiment is that these two ground stations have random chains of information that no one else has." – A. Prof Ben Buchler on the very exciting results in this morning's SMH.

China has "set the standard" for the world to aspire to.
