Silicon Quantum Computing Pty. Ltd. (SQC) Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) is the only company in the world that can
manufacture with atomic precision. This precision is invaluable for fabricating high-quality, scalable quantum processors. Atom qubits in silicon hold the best metrics for solid state qubits in terms of coherence times (stability), read-out speeds
(efficiency), fidelities (accuracy) and gate operation speeds (speed). Importantly SQC has a ruthless focus on ensuring that qubit quality is maintained as the hardware scales. The result will allow SQC’s processors to solve complex problems more efficiently than its competitors with less reliance on error correction.

Formed in 2017 with over $133M in commercial investment, SQC is a global leader in the race to manufacture a fault tolerant error corrected quantum computer. SQC’s state-of-the-art atom-scale foundry and testing facilities span three floors of the physics building at UNSW Sydney, who have invested over $150M in infrastructure establishing world-leading manufacturing facilities. With this all-in-house manufacturing control SQC can manufacture new chip designs in just 1-2 weeks allowing for faster chip development, compared to most competitors, where one iteration cycle can take many months.
SQC has brought together a world-class full stack team that can engineer and manufacture all aspects of our processors in-house using our proprietary atomic-scale manufacturing technology. This allows us to integrate hardware, classical control, and software into patented architectures for useful algorithm demonstrations with our end-user clients, such as Transport for NSW, CBA, and Telstra. Our approximately 60+ scientists and engineers have authored over 250 peer-reviewed papers and 180 total patents.

QuintessenceLabs (QLabs) spun off from the ANU Quantum Optics Group in 2007. It is currently headquartered in Canberra, Australia, and has offices in San Jose, California.

QLabs is a global leader in quantum cybersecurity recognised for its advanced quantum-safe data protection capabilities, offering a suite of unrivaled cybersecurity products for today and tomorrow. Their portfolio includes the flagship Trusted Security Foundation (TSF) Key & Policy Manager. The TSF is crypto-agile and the industry’s most secure key management platform, integrating the security of a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 hardware security module (HSM) with advanced encryption key and policy management (KMS), and qStream, the world’s fastest quantum random number generator (QRNG), delivering the strongest foundation for encryption and data security. QLabs continues in the advancement of quantum cyber security solutions with their latest quantum-safe offering, qOptica Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).

QLabs serves diverse end users across defence, government and private industry, the financial sector, cloud storage, aerospace, and defence supplier sectors, and those looking to enhance the protection of their sensitive data now and in the future.

The company has been widely recognised for its cybersecurity innovations around the world, most recently through its selection as World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer in 2018 and Global Innovator in 2020.

Founded by Dr Aaron Tranter, Professor Ping Koy Lam and Professor Ben Buchler, Aqacia is a machine learning startup that spun out of the quantum memory program of CQC2T Memory Technologies Work Package at the Australian National University. Aqacia specialises in building machine learning tools for quantum and complex systems by applying physical insights and small data techniques. Aqacia has provided next generation control technology based on deep learning to multiple quantum labs around the world and is currently working to build a cloud integrated solution which can service a wider variety of complex tasks.

Additionally, Aqacia has built a number of commercial products with machine learning assisted technology such as defect detection and identification for photovoltaic panels, device classification software for quantum devices, optimisation toolkits for advanced optical devices and control software for photonics. The powerful deep learning techniques provided by Aqacia helps to enable and accelerate technology across the quantum, renewable and high-tech sectors. For more information contact info@aqacia.com.

Diraq is a world leader in silicon quantum dot quantum computing. Diraq was established in early 2022. With a team of over 50 people, our headquarters in Sydney and we recently launched a presence in both the US and Europe.

Our team are pioneers in building quantum processors using electron spins in CMOS quantum dots. Our CEO and Founder Andrew Dzurak has worked in the field of revolutionary Silicon quantum dot qubit technology since 1998 and filed a network of patents in 2014.

Underpinning Diraq is this core IP in quantum computing silicon chip hardware that can be manufactured at scale using existing and highly advanced silicon chip manufacturing plants. This delivers Diraq’s technology platform with the
fundamental advantage of leveraging more than 50 years and trillions of dollars invested in the semiconductor silicon chip industry as the foundation of their approach to building innovative quantum technology.

Our processors work at the nanometer scales that other approaches can never hope to achieve, and our hardware gives us advantages including cost efficiency in terms of scale/ energy efficiency and sustainability. We are able to package our
quantum computing technology into a highly efficient, tightly packed quantum processor stack of a similar size to a single server rack that drives the cloud now.

The transformational applications of quantum computing will require many millions, and ultimately billions, of qubits. This silicon-based technology is one of the most promising pathways to satisfying the scale and commercial reality of developing the billions of qubits needed to realise quantum computing’s huge economic potential.
