Diraq Opens U.S. Technology Hub in Los Angeles
New hub taps Southern California’s deep bench of specialist quantum engineering expertise, with close access to the region's technology companies and partners.
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.
The Los Angeles-based team spans integrated circuit design and architecture, software, device modeling, and machine learning. Diraq plans to double the size of the hub over the next 12 months. The hub will partner closely with Diraq’s Australian headquarters and centre of excellence in Sydney, enabling engineering capability on both sides of the Pacific.
"Succeeding in quantum computing requires securing the best talent as much as engineering the best technology," said Andrew Dzurak, Diraq CEO and Founder. "We're working on some of the most exciting, cutting-edge technology in computing today, and Southern California gives us an exceptional base of quantum engineering talent, particularly in silicon spin qubits, to help us build it. Together with our Sydney headquarters, we're now engineering across the Pacific, accelerating our path to utility-scale quantum computing."
