Southeast Queensland: A Quantum Innovation Hub

Southeast Queensland is emerging as a global powerhouse for quantum technology, boasting a collaborative ecosystem of world-class universities, cutting-edge research facilities, and industry leaders. 

With institutions like The University of Queensland, Griffith University and the University of Southern Queensland driving innovation, the region offers advanced quantum computing infrastructure, nanofabrication capabilities, and state-of-the-art photonics and quantum optics labs.

This thriving hub supports groundbreaking research in quantum communication, sensing, and computation, fostering partnerships that accelerate real-world applications across defence, healthcare, energy, and more.

Join us on the final day of the Quantum Australia Conference for an exclusive tour of these leading institutions. 

Logistical details:

  • Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.
  • All registered attendees will receive a direct link to book for the Ecosystem day.
  • Due to time and logistical constraints, you will only be able to visit one University.
  • Buses will depart from close to the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre at 9.30am on Thursday 27th March.
  • University tours will run from 11.00am to 3.00pm with lunch provided.
  • Bus transfers back to the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre will be provided at the end of the tour.
  • Please wear enclosed shoes and bring suncream, hat and water bottle.

Griffith University

  • Launch of the Queensland Quantum and Advanced Technologies Research Institute.
    The Quantum and Advanced Technologies Research Institute (QUATRI)  builds on Griffith’s significant 20-year legacy in the quantum technology field by bringing together all our expertise into one institution. We’ve also consolidated our capabilities— microfabrication, quantum physics, nanotech and microfluidics—to accelerate our progress towards significantly influencing the next quantum revolution.
  • Following the launch, each group will cycle through four of the key capabilities, led by a lead researcher for each of these themes as follows:
  • Networking lunch will be after the first showcase.

  • Note travel time approximately 30 mins each way

University of Queensland

  • Tour of QUBIC
    The ARC Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology (QUBIC) aims to pioneer paradigm-shifting quantum technologies to observe biological processes and transform the understanding of life. 
  • Tour of EQUS
    EQUS is the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems.  It’s mission is to engineer the quantum future by building quantum machines that harness the quantum world for practical applications.
  • Tour of UQ Advanced Materials Processing and Manufacturing (AMPAM) led by Associate Professor Michael Heitzmann
    AMPAM addresses materials engineering, design and manufacturing challenges of working towards a sustainable society. AMPAM digital fabrication and design, composites, and materials manufacturing and processes for extreme environments.
