Queensland is launching a major new initiative – the Queensland Quantum Decarbonisation Alliance – to apply quantum technologies, particularly quantum computing and quantum sensing, to the challenge of reaching net zero.
The Alliance is pursuing applications such as quantum algorithms for battery design and carbon sequestration materials, and quantum sensors for locating and extracting critical minerals more efficiently. Founding partners include the University of Queensland, Griffith University, PsiQuantum, and CSIRO, alongside more than twenty stakeholders spanning academia, the quantum sector, carbon-intensive industries, and the decarbonisation ecosystem.
We’re currently recruiting a director (Full Professor, continuing), based in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UQ. We’re seeking an internationally recognised leader in quantum algorithms. Applicants should have a strong interest in applying their work to real-world decarbonisation challenges.
