Two leading Australian quantum companies, Diraq and Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC), have been selected by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to advance to Stage B of its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI).

Four South Australian-developed world-leading quantum clocks have been successfully trialed in the United States, as part of Australia’s investment in AUKUS Pillar II, as another South Australian company signs a new strategic contract with a major UK defence contractor.

Diraq’s engineers are no strangers to the power of NVIDIA’s interfacing technology. Back in June, Diraq shared preliminary ways in which the team was using NVIDIA DGX Quantum for initialization, calibration and readout of its qubits.

A new CSIRO breakthrough demonstrates a quantum-secure communications link that protects data using the fundamental laws of physics. This milestone brings Australia closer to real-world quantum-safe networks, strengthening national security and future digital infrastructure.

Australia’s cyber defences must evolve as quantum computing advances. The latest ASD Cyber Threat Report names post-quantum cryptography as a national priority, and the time to prepare is now.

Telstra and Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) today announced results from a joint initiative taking quantum computing out of the lab and into the telecommunications industry – marking a new milestone in Australia’s journey towards quantum-enabled digital infrastructure.

The University of Western Australia is part of an international consortium that hopes to harness quantum computing technology to give remote Aboriginal communities access to higher quality medical imaging – in turn delivering faster and more accurate diagnoses.

The Next Generation Graduates Scholarships provide Honours and postgraduate students from any project background the unique opportunity to work with leading scholars and industry specialists to help solve the world's greatest problems.
