A nice night at the American Chamber of Commerce in Australia awards at the ICC in Sydney. A great showing from Sydney, with four of the five nominees coming from the University of Sydney and the University of Technology Sydney. Congratulations to Mike Biercuk from Q-CTRL in taking out the award for Quantum

QTS group wins Google Academic Research Award
The QTS group was recently selected by Google for a nice little bit of money to work on some cool ideas in quantum networking using Sneakernet. We are very grateful for this support and we promise to come up with something crazy Check out the recipients here
Paper Dance
New work from Srikara in collaboration with Andy Greentree in Melbourne, looking at specific quantum networking protocols using Quantum Sneakernet Check it out on the arXiv.
Quokka starts shipping and wins Australian Good Design Award
Quokka, the educational device started within the QTS group has finally come out of pre-sales and started to ship all over the world. Quokka was also honoured to win a Good Design award for 2024. Check out the posts here
Paper Dance
New study from Anthony looking, in detail, how the rotated and un-rotated surface codes perform as a function of total number of qubits and logical error rate. Check it out on the arXiv

New work from Srikara and Hudson on distributing quantum entanglement in the OPPOSITE direction using satellites. Link to the paper on the arXiv
Quantum Benchmarking papers posted
The QTS group at UTS has been a part of the Quantum Benchmarking project from the US Defence Advanced Research Project Agency (DRAPA) since it began in 2022. DARPA has now released multiple papers from that collaboration, understanding the scale needed by quantum computing systems to realise practical and commercial utility across several computational domains.Continue reading “Quantum Benchmarking papers posted”
Paper Dance
Our new paper, in collaboration with Rigetti and Zapata has been posted, one of many released on the same day from the DARPA quantum benchmarking program. Many thanks to all the team and the QTS group, especially Madhav, Jannis and Thinh for their work. Link to the paper on the arXiv

Well done to Hudson, Srikara and Thinh for their latest work examining the requirements to connect two optically coupled ion-traps for large-scale quantum computing. link to the arXiv Paper
Quantum Algorithms and Applications Study
The Quantum Algorithms and Applications Study, commissioned by the Office of the NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer and authored by Professor Michael Bremner and Associate Professor Simon Devitt from the University of Technology Sydney, explores the potential impact of quantum computing on NSW. The study presents insights into the pathways for commercialising a quantum computer,Continue reading “Quantum Algorithms and Applications Study”
