Australindia: The geography of imperial desire
A tradition of imperial geographical fantasy fuses India and Australia. This paper discusses the strategic role these utopian proposals played in imperial erotics, in aiding the foundational ambition...
View ArticleEthnography, co-design and emergence: Slow activism for sustainable design
In this article I take the novel step of examining how ethnographic understandings of the futures and intervention orientation of indirect forms of activism can inform design practice. To do this I...
View ArticleEntanglement in curved spacetimes and cosmology
We review recent results regarding entanglement in quantum fields in cosmological spacetimes and related phenomena in flat spacetime such as the Unruh effect. We begin with a summary of important...
View ArticleWeaving quantum optical frequency combs into continuous-variable hypercubic...
Cluster states with higher-dimensional lattices that cannot be physically embedded in three-dimensional space have important theoretical interest in quantum computation and quantum simulation of...
View ArticleQuantum seismology
We propose a quantum mechanical method of detecting weak vibrational disturbances inspired by the protocol of entanglement farming. We consider a setup where pairs of atoms in their ground state are...
View ArticleDynamic generation of Debye diffraction-limited multifocal arrays for direct...
We propose a Debye-theory-based iterative method to produce accurate phase patterns for generating highly uniform diffraction-limited multifocal arrays with a high-NA objective. It is shown that by...
View ArticleCosmological quantum entanglement
We review recent literature on the connection between quantum entanglement and cosmology, with an emphasis on the context of expanding universes. We discuss recent theoretical results reporting on the...
View ArticleUltra-large-scale continuous-variable cluster states multiplexed in the time...
Quantum computers promise ultrafast performance for certain tasks. Experimentally appealing, measurement-based quantum computation requires an entangled resource called a cluster state, with long...
View ArticleCytochrome P450 CYP3A in marsupials: Cloning and identification of the first...
Australian marsupials are unique fauna that have evolved and adapted to unique environments and thus it is likely that their detoxification systems differ considerably from those of well-studied...

A modern class of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) uses Deformable Membrane Wings (DMWs), wing comprising rigid or rigidizable structural elements providing stiffness and flexible membranes providing...
View ArticleA tutorial on Bernoulli filters: Theory, implementation and applications
Bernoulli filters are a class of exact Bayesian filters for non-linear/non-Gaussian recursive estimation of dynamic systems, recently emerged from the random set theoretical framework. The common...
View ArticlePredicting the strength of adhesively bonded joints of variable thickness...
One major characteristic of bonded structures is the highly localised nature of deformation near sharp corners, ply-terminations, and ends of joints where load transfer occurs. This paper presents an...
