Archer Materials has partnered with global quantum computing company IonQ in a strategic agreement aimed at accelerating quantum adoption in Australia. The collaboration will provide access to IonQ's commercial quantum computing platform while exploring the feasibility of establishing sovereign quantum computing infrastructure on Australian soil.

From CSIRO, to Q-CTRL, to Quantum Australia, here are six standout women changing the face of emerging technology in our nation.

Phasor Quantum is developing quantum-assured navigation systems for GPS-degraded and denied environments, addressing the growing challenges of GPS spoofing and jamming. Using proprietary diamond quantum sensors, the company enables continuous correction of inertial navigation systems, delivering highly accurate positioning without reliance on GPS.

CSIRO is turning low-value diamond ‘dust’ into high-performance quantum materials that can detect tiny magnetic signals, unlocking powerful new approaches to chemical and biomedical sensing.

Quantum Australia, the national centre for quantum growth, has participated in the Women in STEMM Leadership Summit , discussing how leaders can create measurable impact for women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM).

PsiQuantum today broke ground and started construction on its facility at Moreton Bay Central, where the company will build and deploy the world's first utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer. 

Australia’s quantum manufacturing capability is set to expand following a $20 million investment by the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation (NRFC) in Sydney-based Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC), a company specialising in atomic-scale semiconductor manufacturing and quantum computing technologies.

Quantum Australia welcomes SYSTRA as an Industry Support Partner, supporting connections between emerging quantum technologies and the infrastructure systems that underpin modern society.

PsiQuantum’s Asia-Pacific Test & Validation Lab has moved to the next stage of development with lab construction at Griffith University’s Brisbane South (Nathan) campus complete and officially launched.

QAC2026 brought together 800+ attendees, 50+ speakers, 50+ exhibitors and 18+ international delegations, showcasing how quantum is moving from research into real-world impact across defence, finance, health, energy and more.

Quantum Australia welcomes Jacobs as an Industry Support Partner, recognising the relevance of infrastructure, engineering and advisory capabilities as quantum technologies progress toward real-world application.

Quantum computer-powered hackers the next cyber-threat for major banks. The arrival of quantum technology is just around the corner, and will require a big security uplift, says HSBC head of quantum Philip Intallura.
