PBS Program Name:
ARC 18/19 Discovery
Grant Program:
Discovery Projects
Grant Activity:
Diamond superconducting nanowire single photon detectors
Purpose:
This project aims to develop a new type of single photon detector suitable for applications in quantum communication, sensing and metrology by exploiting recent breakthroughs in the discovery of superconductivity in boron doped diamond. This project expects to demonstrate a new, scalable architecture for integrated photonic circuits using the special properties of diamond which allow single-photon quantum emitters, passive optical components, and single-photon detectors to be integrated into one monolithic diamond chip. Expected outcomes include accelerating the uptake of Australian quantum technologies and strengthening international collaborations. Significant benefits include enhanced advanced materials manufacturing capability.  The project also provides a pathway to increase linkages with companies which are commercialising quantum technologies.
