The ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems[7] (EQUS) was an Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence that conducted research into the design and control of quantum systems. It operated from 2011 to 2025 in two phases: the Centre for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQuS) from 2011 to 2017[8], and EQUS from 2018 to 2025[9]. The Centre was based at the University of Queensland with additional nodes at partner universities. Its work examined how quantum phenomena could be applied in measurement, communication and computation.
Research programmes
[edit]EQUS research was organised around three main themes: designer quantum materials, quantum imaging and diagnostics[10][11], and quantum engines and instruments[12].
According to EQUS Deputy Director Sally Shrapnel “Centres of Excellence are one of the main vehicles to enable high-quality research in Australia”[13].
Other activities
[edit]EQUS supported a range of education, outreach, and commercialisation initiatives alongside its core research program. The Centre developed training programs for students[14] and early-career researchers in quantum engineering and entrepreneurship, and partnered with Australian industry to translate quantum research into emerging technologies[15].
Public engagement activities included science communication workshops, exhibitions, and community events[16][17] aimed at increasing understanding of quantum science. EQUS also contributed to national initiatives to build Australia’s quantum technology sector, including collaborations with government[18] and industry partners to support skills development and policy planning[19].
