In particular the lecture will highlight the new and exciting International research program in Quantum Computing that has recently been established in Australia. The ability to build a computer from the atomic level upwards will allow us to exploit quantum physics with the aim of building a new generation of computers. Michelle Simmons began an interdisciplinary career with a double degree in physics and chemistry at the University of Durham in England. She is currently a Queen Elizabeth II Research Fellow at the University of New South Wales where she is investigating the fundamental nature of electrical conduction in quantum semiconductor devices. She is also manager of the atomic-scale fabrication and crystal growth program at the new Centre for Quantum Computer Technology at UNSW, collaborating with physicists at Queensland, Melbourne, Maryland, Caltech and Los Alamos.
