Research
UQ has one of the strongest groups of researchers in physics in
Australia. Our research broadly falls into the categories of quantum
science, laser science, condensed matter physics and astrophysics. We
have approximately 40 academic and research staff and 60 research
postgraduate students, and have an annual research income of several
million dollars.
UQ physics forms part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum-Atom
Optics, ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computer Technology, the
Centre for Organic Photonics and Electronics, and the Centre for
Hypersonics. We also host the Centre for Biophotonics and Laser Science.
