Quantum Technology Laboratory UQ
The Quantum Technology Laboratory at the University of Queensland is focused on emulating both natural and engineered quantum systems by using quantum photonics, a proven and flexible architecture for investigating exotic quantum phenomena, to enable new applications from secure communications through to improved metrology.
The Laboratory has extensive quantum photonics facilities, including the world’s highest-efficiency entangled photon source, integrated photonic circuits, and highly efficient cryogenic calorimeters that can be used to count individual photons.
Quantum entanglement is being explored to create ultra-high resolution medical imaging techniques, like quantum-enhanced MRI. By using entangled particles, researchers aim to surpass the resolution limits of classical imaging, potentially allowing doctors to detect diseases like cancer or neurodegenerative conditions much earlier — at the level of individual cells or even molecules.
