After more than 14 years of engineering the quantum future, EQUS will conclude at the end of June. The Showcase will celebrate EQUS’ scientific achievements, research translation, and a new generation of EQUS-trained scientists, innovators and entrepreneurs. The showcase will include networking, where we invite our colleagues in government, industry, and research to engage with our new generation of researchers.
In the midst of the global quantum revolution, EQUS’ mission has been to engineer the quantum future by building quantum machines that harness the quantum world for practical applications. The quantum era of technology has undergone a period of fundamental science and discovery, followed by a period of engineering—creating systems that are robust, reliable and reproducible. From its inception, EQUS has led the transition from fundamental science to engineering. From world-leading research to transformative cultural initiatives, we have reshaped the quantum ecosystem and beyond.
Our Centre’s goals have been to unlock the transformative potential of quantum systems and generate returns from decades of investment in quantum—whether improving diagnostics, detecting dark matter or navigating GPS-denied environments. Internationally, we are recognised for both our world-class talent and research, with leading researchers in areas ranging from optomechanics of superfluids through to quantum control. Showcasing the work of the EQUS team, these events will explore the impact that EQUS has had on the national and international quantum ecosystem and look to the future to consider the next priorities for the quantum era of technology.
The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQUS) acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and their continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and to Elders past and present.
