The Melbourne Quantum Diamond Hub has officially launched, bringing together 14 founding member organisations to grow the region’s quantum diamond ecosystem and connect its capabilities with opportunities across Australia and internationally.

The Melbourne Quantum Diamond Hub Capability Statement 2026 showcases the expertise, organisations and facilities driving quantum diamond innovation across Melbourne and Victoria.

Today we're announcing work done by Iceberg Quantum and Diraq, leveraging early access to the newly announced Logical layer of the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform. The work demonstrated how Iceberg Quantum’s Pinnacle architecture can be implemented on Diraq's spin-qubit hardware platform while preserving Pinnacle's logical performance advantage.

Diraq today celebrates the opening of its U.S. Technology Hub in Santa Monica, California. The hub brings together a 20-strong multi-disciplinary team with deep expertise in silicon spin qubits, tapping into Southern California's uniquely deep concentration of quantum talent, and placing Diraq alongside the region's leading semiconductor, aerospace, and technology companies, foundries, and research partners. 

Quantum Lock uses entangled photons to prove, not infer, that the memory of a remote device has not been compromised. A new layer of the cybersecurity stack, grounded in physics.

Gridstate Photonics is developing a core technology needed to make optical quantum computers practical and scalable. They create highly reliable quantum building blocks that help quantum systems detect and correct errors.

FeBI Technologies is on a mission to revolutionise the diagnosis of iron disorders. By developing world leading quantum sensing medical technology accurate iron level monitoring will enable personalised care to optimise health and performance.

QFactorial builds optimisation software for planning and scheduling where high-quality decisions have to be made quickly - vehicle routing, job scheduling, resource allocation or rostering.

Space CoLAB is building diamond-based quantum transceivers that will operate at room temperature - enabling genuinely secure communications for mobile platforms, remote locations, and tactical environments where traditional quantum systems cannot go.

Australia’s first open access quantum testbed is positioning Queensland as a leader in developing quantum technologies, capability and businesses, while giving industry access to world-class infrastructure.
