When quantum is not desirable: quantum noise vs. quantum technologies

在科学、工业和社会中成功部署量子计算机和传感器的关键障碍之一是存在本身就是量子的噪声源，因此具有无与伦比的破坏潜力。该项目将通过提供(i)对量子噪声源影响的详细了解，并制定协议来（ii）表征和（iii）克服这种现实噪声所带来的负面影响来解决这个问题。在实施这些突破性技术的必要步骤中，它不仅将显著推进知识，而且将对澳大利亚和其他主要国家大量投资的技术发展产生直接影响。

One of the key remaining obstacles to the successful deployment of quantum computers & sensors in science, industry, and society is the existence of noise sources that are themselves quantum, and thus have an unmatched potential for disruption. This project will attack this problem by providing (i) a detailed understanding of the impact of quantum noise sources, and developing protocols to (ii) characterize and (iii) overcome the negative effects such realistic noise entails. In taking this necessary step for the implementation of these breakthrough technologies, it will not only significantly advance knowledge but will have a direct impact in the development of a technology in which Australia and other leading nations are heavily invested.
