About us
Learn more about our research lab.
The Fundamental Quantum Technologies (FQT) laboratory is located on level 3 of the Old Main Building at UNSW. It hosts state-of-the-art quantum measurement platforms for the operation of novel quantum devices at ultra-low temperatures, and a broad suite of electronic and microwave instruments.
Nano Fabrication is taken out at the NSW Node of ANFF, operated within a 600m2 laboratory complex providing cleanrooms with particle counts equivalent to ISO5, ISO6 and ISO7.

Advanced Modeling
Advanced modeling
In the design and understanding of quantum computation devices modeling plays a major role. Within the Fundamental Quantum Technologies laboratories state of the art modeling software on dedicated high-performance computers are used.
Ultra-Low Temperature Optics
Ultra-Low Temperature Optics
Within the FQT laboratory, there is a special laser lab dedicated for conducting optical measurements at ultra-low temperatures (T < 100 mK) using a BlueFors LD400 cryogen-free dilution refrigerator system (funded by the Australian Research Council, UNSW Sydney and Macquarie University via LE160100069).

Quantum operations with 99% fidelity
Quantum computers can solve useful problems only if there is less than 1 error every 100 operations, which means 99% operation fidelity.
For the first time in silicon, a team of engineers led by Andrea Morello at UNSW Sydney has demonstrated a three-qubit quantum processor in silicon where every operation – one-qubit logic, two-qubit logic, and qubit initialisation and measurement – is performed with better than 99% fidelity.
