Designing the Quantum-Classical Interface: Technologies for the Diamond Quantum Co-Processor

钻石已经被视为实际、高温、量子信息处理任务的领跑者。这项提议将技术聚光灯牢牢地放在钻石上，与惠普的合作将确保以与行业相关的(而不仅仅是学术的)方式探索钻石的前景。惠普带来了丰富的经验和基础设施，并为成功的技术提供了一条成熟的原型和市场途径。这项提议是一个绝佳的机会，可以提高澳大利亚学术研究的相关性，增加澳大利亚毕业生的培训和就业选择，并通过改善获得美国研究资金的渠道来扩大澳大利亚的资助机会。

Diamond is already seen as the front-runner for practical, high temperature, quantum information processing tasks. This proposal places the technological spotlight firmly on diamond and partnering with Hewlett-Packard will ensure that the promise of diamond is explored in an industrially relevant (rather than just academic) fashion. HP brings enormous experience and infrastructure, as well as a proven path to prototype and market for successful technologies. This proposal is an outstanding opportunity to increase the relevance of Australian academic research, increase the training and employment options for Australian graduates, and to expand Australian funding opportunities by improving access to US research funds.
