- 08/09/2016: Wonderful news for physics, and in particular quantum science and technology in Australia: seven years of funding was announced today for the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology, the ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low Energy Electronics Technologies, the ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science, and last—but certainly not least!—the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery. Many, many, congratulations to all involved, and heartfelt commiserations for our colleagues who didn't get funded this time. For funding junkies, here are the Statistics for Approved Proposals.
- 07/09/2016: Congratulations to Christina, whose opus on Causal and causally separable processes appeared today in the New Journal of Physics. Keep an eye out for the video abstract, which is an excellent introduction to this paper!
- 19/08/2016: In today's Physics World there is a wonderful article by Philip Ball on our most recent paper , Quantum mechanics trumps nonlocal causality. If you've a few minutes free, please go check it out!
- 10/08/2016: Our paper on Experimental Test of Nonlocal Causality appeared today in Science Advances. Many congratulations to Martin, Christina, Fabio, and the nonlocal authors Rafael and Alessandro!
- 01/08/2016: Lewis Howard starts his PhD in the QT Lab today, joining us from Curtin University. Welcome aboard Lewis!
- 27/07/2016: It is with great sadness that we farewell Juan Loredo, who leaves us after 4 wonderful years to join the fabulous Pascale Senellart and her team as a Postdoctoral Scientist. Best of luck in the new gig Juan, and you are very welcome back at anytime!
- 12/07/2016: In today's Science there is a nice article by Adrian Cho, Massive neutrino experiment undermines our sense of reality. It includes—possibly unwisely, never give an interview when jet-lagged!—comments from Andrew. Go check it out!
- 26/06/2016: Congratulations to Martin Ringbauer, who is one of just 7 PhD students representing Australian science at the 66th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting this week. To get a sense of what an amazing week it is, have a look at the promotional booklet and the participant directory.
- 18/06/2016: Today's Science Show is all about H.G. Wells, the author who imaged a future based on scientific achievement. It's wonderful, with rarely-heard audio recordings of Wells, so if nothing else tune in for that! It includes a brief chat between the amazing Sharon Carleton and Andrew, that touches on death rays, Tasmania, the Maxwell-Heaviside equations, and Imperialism.
- 10/06/2016: Our paper on Engineering integrated photonics for heralded quantum gates appeared today in Scientific Reports. Many congratulations to Devon, Matthew, Alessandro, and the Macquarie team of Tom, Michael, Alexei, Graham, Michael, and Mick!
- 09/06/2016: Andrew is giving an hour-long Tutorial today at CLEO on Photonic Quantum Simulation. If you're at CLEO let's catch up for a coffee and a chat!
- 07/06/2016: There's a great article today in PhysOrg, The path to perfection: Quantum dots in electrically-controlled cavities yield bright, nearly identical photons. It was prompted by our recent Nature Photonics paper, but is more wide ranging than that, and has heaps of thoughtful observations from Pascale. If you're interested in quantum dots or photon sources, go read it now!
- 24/05/2016: Andrew is giving a talk tonight in a Pint of Science, event at the Lucky Duck Cafe and Bar. Come along for a drink and a chat!
- 15/04/2016: Our paper on Enhancing coherent transport in a photonic network using controllable decoherence appeared today in Nature Communications. Many congratulations to Devon, Aidan, Matthew, Alessandro and Ivan, and the Jena team of René, Markus, Stefan, and Alex!
- 13/04/2016: Our paper on Scalable performance in solid-state single- photon sources appeared today in Optica. Many congratulations to Juan, Marcelo, Azwa, Matthew,and the French team of Niccolo, Carlos, Lorenzo, Valerian, Thomas, Olivier, Guillamue, Isabelle, Aristide, Alexia, and Pascale!
- 18/02/2016: Our paper on Measuring Entanglement in a Photonic Embedding Quantum Simulator appeared today in Physical Review Letters. Many congratulations to Juan, Marcelo, and the Bilbao/Ulm team of Roberto, Julen, Jorge, and Kike!
- 15/01/2016: In the Festival of Art, Science and Ideas, Andrew is a panel member today in Science Texts That Changed the World. From The Origin of the Species to Andrew Wakefield’s notorious paper, come join the discussion on big science texts led by the inimitable Joel Gilmore!
- 11/01/2016: Raphael Abrahão starts his PhD in the QT Lab today, joining us from Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Welcome aboard Raphael!
- 04/11/2015: There is a nice write-up today in phys.org of Christina and colleagues' recent paper, Quantum process demonstrates superposition of ordered events. Go check it out!
- 30/10/2015: Many congratulations to Jacquiline Romero, who today was awarded an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award: simply wonderful news!
- 26/10/2015: The ABC's The World interviewed Andrew for some context regarding the magnificent recent experiment of Bas Hensen and colleagues. Andrew would like to apologise, it'd been a long day...
- 22/10/2015: Andrew's talk was one of three presentations highlighted in the Daily Wrap for Frontiers in Optics 2015. That photo is now officially the dorkiest one ever taken of him: no mean feat!
- 21/10/2015: There's a great video interview with Martin—or as we shall call him today, Marty!— in the article It’s 2015, so where’s my flying car? (Spoiler alert: we still need roads).
- 21/10/2015: It's Back To The Future Day! Andrew is in California at FiO2015 giving an invited talk on Photonic Quantum Simulation & Emulation which includes both our work on simulating time travel and appropriate props—do you have any idea how hard it is to get a flux capacitor through customs?—whilst Martin and Tim are—at the request of the White House no less—doing a Google+ Hangout Conversation on time travel. Great Scott!
- 19/10/2015: Our paper on Witnessing causal nonseparability appeared today in the New Journal of Physics. Many congratulations to Christina, Cyril, and Fabio, and the Vienna team of Mateus, Adrien and Časlav!
- 12/10/2015: Sarah Lau starts her PhD in the QT Lab today, joining us from industry, and before that the University of Queensland. Welcome aboard Sarah!

Congratulations to Chris, Andre, and the entire team at Adelaide! This is our second paper together, and the first with a Deputy-Vice-Chancellor-Research as a co-author!
- 07/07/2015: After 7 wonderful years, Alessandro Fedrizzi is leaving us to take up a Readership at Heriot-Watt university. Wishing you and your family all the best at the new gig Sandro, and you are very welcome back here anytime! Your new lab looks like it'll be a thing of beauty, so we're very much looking forward to research visits.
