Quantum projects launched to solve universe’s mysteries
Researchers will use cutting-edge quantum technologies to transform our understanding of the universe and answer key questions such as the nature of dark matter and black holes.
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is supporting seven projects with a £31 million investment to demonstrate how quantum technologies could solve some of the greatest mysteries in fundamental physics. Researchers from the University of Cambridge have been awarded funding on four of the seven projects.
Just as quantum computing promises to revolutionise traditional computing, technologies such as quantum sensors have the potential to radically change our approach to understanding our universe.
Huawei Eyes Off Australian 6G Network After 5G Ban
Huawei’s Australian arm has not given up developing the country’s future mobile network, saying it wants to be part of Australia’s distant 6G or 7G rollout.
In 2018, the Chinese telecommunications firm was banned from involvement in Australia’s 5G network due to security concerns.
Jeremy Mitchell, Huawei Australia’s chief corporate affairs officer, was confident though that the telco could contribute to future iterations.
“The conversation we now want to have with the Australian government is what do we do when 6G or 7G comes, because like it or not Huawei or another Chinese company will be the leader in this area,” Mitchell told the Sydney Morning Herald.

Confounding hopes for a semi-normal January, 2020 s madness has crashed into 2021 like a New Year s Eve reveler with no respect for his hungover neighbors. Coronavirus is out of control, in the words of a UK government minister, reinvigorated after its late-summer lethargy by some energy-boosting mutations. Trump-loving criminals, including a half-man, half-moose hybrid, attempted to unseat the US government. And Ericsson joined forces with Huawei to thwart the Swedish government s sinister plans for a ban on Chinese network equipment.
It will not garner the same headlines as the latest chapter in the pandemic, or the American insurrection, but the sight of Sweden s 5G supremo sticking up for its Chinese nemesis is not typical. Until Sweden s government soured on China, all Ericsson had said about the geopolitical situation was that uncertainty was bad for investors. When governments in Australia, France and the UK decided Chinese 5G vendors were unwelcome, Ericsson preferred n
You can t accuse Huawei of not having some chutzpah.
After being banned from supplying 5G core and RAN equipment in Australia as far back as 2018, well before the US campaign of leaning heavily on allies to ditch Chinese suppliers, Huawei is looking for a way back through 6G.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Huawei wants to start discussions with the Australian government about how best to collaborate on 6G R&D and avoid a repeat of the 5G ban.
Jeremy Mitchell, Huawei s director of corporate affairs in Australia, bullishly implied it was in the best interests of the government to play ball.
