The Many Beacon
The many – emergence and emulation in light and matter: Many body quantum and classical systems.
This programme focuses on systems where many simple components interact causing complex collective behaviours.
It is right at the heart of the development of new laser sources and relies upon fundamental concepts such as self-organisation, synchronization, solitons and phase transitions.
Main Tranche Projects
Republic of Korea Joint Research Projects
The Catalyst Strategic NZ–Korea Joint Research Partnerships programme has funded three joint projects in 2025, each for up to NZ$450,000 over three years. They focus on quantum communication - a rapidly advancing field with transformative potential for secure data and future technologies.
Startup Tranche Projects
The Dodd-Walls Centre research focus is photonics, the generation, transmission, and manipulation of light, and the study of matter and energy at the quantum level.
