A multi-year partnership establishes ongoing investment focused on Sydney's Quantum Nanoscience Laboratory to scale-up devices, as Microsoft moves from research to real world engineering of quantum machines.
Professor Ben Eggleton and Dr Andrea Blanco Redondo from the School of Physics are set to illuminate the science of light at the nanoscale with their dazzling Sydney Science Forum.
Atiyeh Zarifi, PhD student in Physics, provides insights into her photonics research and its applications before the next Sydney Science Forum - Bright lights: The science of light at the nanoscale. 
Researchers from the ARC Centre for Ultrahigh bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS) in the University of Sydney's Australian Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology have made a breakthrough achieving radio frequency signal control at sub-nanosecond time scales on a chip-scale optical device.
The Institute of Photonics and Optical Science (IPOS) and the School of Physics are proud to announce that Dame Athene Donald from Cambridge University will be presenting this year's Dr Peter Domachuk Memorial Lecture. This is Dame Donald's first visit to Australia, so don't miss the chance to see her live.
Astronomers from the School of Physics have identified 1500 compact galaxies powered by newly energized black holes.
Professor Kuncic has won a 2017 Australia-Harvard Fellowship to work in Boston on a project that offers hope of better treatment for cancer patients.
The first online astronomy course of its kind.
ARC Laureate Professor Joss Bland-Hawthorn in the School of Physics has been awarded a visiting Miller Professorship to work at the University of California Berkeley, United States.
The NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN) is being officially launched today at the Australian Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology (AINST). Professor Benjamin Eggleton from the School of Physics is co-director of the NSSN.
CUDOS joint PhD student Andri Mahendra and his colleagues in the School of Physics and School of Electrical and Information Engineering at The University of Sydney have developed an integrated circuits controller that enables complex photonic devices to be more robust to internal and external disturbances, addressing one of the key issues in the photonics integration industry.
Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed a circulator capable of directing microwaves that can fit on a chip, making it suitable for scaling up quantum-computing architectures.
