Have you ever had a CT, an ultrasound or an MRI scan? Do you use a smart phone, the internet or a computer? Almost everything that makes your life more comfortable, The skills you gain through studying physics and astrophysics or allows you to work efficiently in the 21st century, is due to at Monash can be used in many areas, such as: developing engineered solutions based on physical principles. For example, medical instrumentation, radiotherapy treatment of cancer, the discovery of electricity, magnetism, relativity and quantum modelling climate and weather, analysing big data and financial mechanics came about through human curiosity; however, systems, developing innovative ways to address sustainability, technologies based on these discoveries did not eventuate until exploring emergent behaviour in complex biological systems, much later. and understanding the function of the brain. Physicists and Astrophysicists explore the Universe at all scales of Physics and astronomy at Monash is going through an exciting length, time and energy – from sub-atomic particles (such as the period of growth – investing significantly in people and facilities.

Physics seeks to understand the biomedical imaging, quantum computing, atomtronics, and nature of space, time and matter, and in doing so it addresses novel materials for next generation photonics, optoelectronics profound philosophical questions about the nature of reality and and spintronics.

  • Professor Robert Mccredie May
    Professor Robert McCredie May The degree of Doctor of Science (honoris causa) was conferred upon Professor Robert McCredie May at the Science ceremony held in the Great Hall at 9.30am on 19 May 1995. Professor Robert May, photo, Tracey Schramm, 'The University of Sydney News', 12 July 1995. Citation Presented by the Vice-Chancellor and Principal Professor D McNicol Chancellor I have the honour to present Professor Robert McCredie May for admission to the degree of Doctor of Science (honoris causa). Professor May has a record of outstanding achievement in two very different fields of science - theoretical physics and population biology. Born and educated in Sydney, Professor May graduated BSc at this University with the University Medal in Physics in 1956, and PhD in Theoretical Physics in 1959, supervised by Dr M.R. Schafroth. After a brief interlude at Harvard University, he returned to join the academic staff of the School of Physics in 1962. For his distinguished theoretical contributions to the physics of ionized gases, he was awarded the Pawsey Medal by the Australian Academy of Science in 1967. In 1969 he was the first to be appointed to a Personal Chair in this University. The metamorphosis from physics to biology began with Professor May's investigation of the problem of the relation between stability and complexity in natural communities. His elegant mathematical solution to the predator-prey problem later led to him being regarded as one of the fathers of the modem theory of chaos. The transition to biology was completed in 1973 with his appointment to Princeton University to take up the Class of 1877 Professorship of Zoology.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-80442-4 - Quantum Measurement and Control Howard M. Wiseman and Gerard J. Milburn Frontmatter More information QUANTUM MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL The control of individual quantum systems promises a new technology for the twenty-first century – quantum technology. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of modern quantum measurement and measurement-based quantum control, which are vital elements for realizing quantum technology. Readers are introduced to key experiments and technologies through dozens of recent experiments in cavity QED, quantum optics, mesoscopic electronics and trapped particles, several of which are analysed in detail. Nearly 300 exercises help build understanding, and prepare readers for research in these exciting areas. This important book will interest graduate students and researchers in quantum informa- tion, quantum metrology, quantum control and related fields. Novel topics covered include adaptive measurement; realistic detector models; mesoscopic current detection; Markovian, state-based and optimal feedback; and applications to quantum information processing. howard m. wiseman is Director of the Centre for Quantum Dynamics at Griffith University, Australia. He has worked in quantum measurement and control theory since 1992, and is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science (AAS). He has received the Bragg Medal of the Australian Institute of Physics, the Pawsey Medal of the AAS and the Malcolm Macintosh Medal of the Federal Science Ministry. gerard j. milburn is an Australian Research Council Federation Fellow at the Uni- versity of Queensland, Australia. He has written three previous books, on quantum optics, quantum technology and quantum computing. He has been awarded the Boas Medal of the Australian Institute of Physics and is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science and the American Physical Society.

    Professor John Storey has an undergraduate degree in physics (1972) from La Trobe University and a PhD in chemistry (1976) from Monash University. After four years as a postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley, he joined the Anglo-Australian Observatory as a staff astronomer. He moved to an academic position at the University of New South Wales in 1982 and was appointed to a chair of physics in 1987. During his time at the university he served as head of the School of Physics for a total of ten years. Storey retired in 2011 and was appointed emeritus professor, a position he holds to this day. He has published 140 refereed scientific papers and over 200 conference papers. Storey has made 12 research trips to Antarctica, with activities concentrated at the US base at South Pole, the French/Italian Dome C station, and at a temporary field camp close to Dome A. His re- search team have built and operated robotic equipment for collaborative experiments at both the Japanese Dome F station and the Chinese Kunlun station at Dome A. Storey has served in official positions within the SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Re- search) organisation since 2000. In 2010 he led push to the form the AAA (Astronomy and Astro- physics from Antarctica) Scientific Research Program within SCAR, and served as the AAA Chief Officer from its creation until 2016. During that same period he was also the International Astro- nomical Union (IAU) delegate to SCAR. Storey has been was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt fellowship, the Australian Academy of Science Pawsey Medal, the US Antarctic Service Medal, and has presented the Ellery, Bok and Pawsey lectures as well as numerous invited talks at international meetings..
