Diraq is building the world’s first utility-scale quantum computer using today’s scalable silicon manufacturing technology. DARPA is backing their plans for commercial scale systems. And Australia’s energy market operator is exploring how these systems could solve the increasing complex calculations needed to maintain stable energy supplies.

Brisbane-based Analog Quantum Circuits is building microwave components a fraction of the width of a human hair, solving one of the hidden bottlenecks in scaling superconducting quantum computers.
