ANFF-NSW @UNSW

Three leading researchers have been awarded Australian Laureate Fellowships to tackle some of the world’s big issues, including ageing, clean energy and quantum computing.

On the 5th September 2019, over one hundred school students got to experience ‘a day in the life’ of a quantum computer researcher, as the Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology opened up its doors at UNSW Sydney.

Friday, 19 July 2019: ANFF-NSW has secured > $8.3M of additional NCRIS/ANFF funding with the signing of a new contract between UNSW and the Australian National Fabrication Facility Limited (ANFFL). The agreement also formalises the addition of The University of Sydney to join with UNSW within a merged NSW Node of the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF).

A group of physicists at UNSW Sydney have built a super-fast version of the central building block of a quantum computer. The research is the milestone result of a vision first outlined by scientists 20 years ago.

Professor Michelle Simmons, the 2018 Australian of the Year, is among 110 members of the UNSW community named in the Queen’s Birthday 2019 Honours List.
