UNSW-Harvard-Cambridge Partnership in Semiconductor Nanostructures for Quantum Computing and Quantum Science

以量子力学为基础的突破性纳米技术有望带来重要的新设备，在信息和通信技术中有许多应用。例如，量子计算机有望大幅提高计算能力，允许在数据库搜索、基因测序和天气建模等领域进行快速而复杂的处理。这项新的合作汇集了来自澳大利亚（新南威尔士大学），英国（剑桥大学）和美国（哈佛大学）的主要国家中心的研究人员，以解决现代科学最具挑战性的问题之一-如何控制和操纵量子态。

Breakthrough nanotechnologies based on quantum mechanics promise important new devices with many applications in information and communications technologies. For example, quantum computers promise an enormous increase in computing power, allowing fast and complex processing in areas such as database searching, gene sequencing and weather modeling. This new collaboration brings together researchers from major national Centres in Australia (UNSW), Great Britain (University of Cambridge) and the USA (Harvard University) to tackle one of modern sciences most challenging problems - how to control and manipulate quantum states.
