Description

Mitigating Ionising Radiation Errors in Superconducting Quantum Computers. This project aims to protect superconducting quantum computers from ionising radiation errors that limit their performance. The research will measure radiation's effects on qubits, compare quantum computer operation above and underground, and develop protective measures, including shielding and error correction systems. By addressing this challenge, the project will enhance quantum computer reliability and advance Australia's quantum computing capabilities. The outcomes include practical radiation protection tools and new detection systems benefiting both quantum computing and other sensitive quantum technologies, supporting Australia's National Quantum Strategy through infrastructure development and international partnerships.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 5108 - Quantum Physics. Lead: Dr Laura Manenti
