ARC Centre of Excellence in Mathematics for Quantum Era Security and Trust (externally administered by U of Sydney) (2026-2033)
Abstract
The ARC Centre of Excellence in Mathematics for Quantum Era Security and Trust (MathQuEST) strives to build critical expertise to protect against the expected breakdown of cybersecurity protocols on quantum computers and build trust in artifical intelligence. Deep, untapped reservoirs of mathematical problems and structures will be mined to establish complexity foundations for security and create accelerated methods for AI. MathQuEST will assemble leading researchers from diverse disciplines to deliver a mathematically trained, technologically agile workforce, ensuring Australia¿s preparedness for grand challenges arising from future quantum computers with dual-use impact across agriculture, defence, health and industry.
