Qucor works in information and materials technology
at the level of individual atoms and photons, connecting this capability
with the emerging demands of the semiconductor and optoelectronics
industries.
The core of this technology emerges from several
very significant technical achievements in the field of Quantum
Computing. The development of quantum computing is one of the scientific
challenges of our age, offering the potential of massively parallel
computation to significantly impact our everyday life. Meeting this
challenge is the mission of Australia's Centre for Quantum Computer
Technology, and it is this Centre's expertise and infrastructure
that stand behind Qucor. A brief introduction to quantum computing
can be found on the Centre's website, at www.qcaustralia.org/introqc.htm
, and this article in turn provides links to reading in greater
depth.
The capabilities developed along the pathway
to quantum computing (in both solid state and optics) give rise
to technology with nearer-term application. This includes the ability
to manipulate individual atoms, enabling the design and fabrication
of extremely small sensors, or precisely doped semiconductors, or
novel customised electronic devices.
Our technology also includes the ability to generate
truly single photons in optical fibre, a capability that is a pre-requisite
for genuinely secure communications systems, and far superior to
existing attenuated laser solutions in meeting the quantum encryption
needs of financial, entertainment and other markets.
 
A further capability exists in the fabrication
of microstructures. Applying this capability to diamond creates
well-defined structures such as waveguides and cantilevers, with
wide-ranging applications including optics, fluidics, and microresonators.
