Description

Towards an Australian Solid State Nuclear Clock. This project aims to investigate and develop materials, techniques required for construction of a solid-state nuclear isomer transition clock together with emergent applications. These next generation advanced clocks, gained a lot of attention after 2023, promise to surpass all existing atomic systems in precision in a more reliable package. Leveraging international collaborations, it will provide a foundation for both a practical device and fundamental knowledge of an engineered nuclear quantum system. This projects will advance Australia’s position in time keeping, the backbone of modern communication, commerce, defence systems, metrology and fundamental science providing nation resilience to interactions in access to stable time scales. . Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 5108 - Quantum Physics. Lead: Dr Maxim Goryachev
