Upgrading Australia's highest magnetic field facility for high speed measurements of quantum devices at cryogenic temperatures

电子设备是一个价值上万亿美元的产业，支撑着我们的信息化社会。在液氦温度下（低于-270℃）的研究是开发新型电子设备的重要一步，并导致了诸如激光，大容量硬盘驱动器和用于卫星通信的高速芯片等突破。该提案将升级澳大利亚现有的能力，允许在接近绝对零度的温度和高达17特斯拉的磁场下对先进纳米级设备进行超高速测量，使澳大利亚能够继续在量子技术的发展中发挥主导作用。

Electronic devices are a trillion dollar industry, and underpin our information-based society. Research at liquid helium temperatures (below -270 ºC) is an essential step in developing new electronic devices, and has resulted in breakthroughs such as the laser, the high capacity hard disc drive, and the high speed chips used for satellite telecommunications. This proposal will upgrade Australia's existing capabilities to allow ultra-high speed measurements of advanced nanoscale devices at temperatures close to absolute zero, and in magnetic fields up to 17 Tesla, allowing Australia to continue play a leading role in the development of quantum technologies.
