Diraq

🙌 Congratulations 🙌 We are thrilled to announce that our CEO and Founder, Andrew Dzurak has been inducted into the Pearcey Hall of Fame. https://lnkd.in/gqhrnHVw.   This individual award recognises a distinguished lifetime of achievement and contribution to the development and growth of the Australian ICT industry.    It is a fitting credit to Andrew – whose focus on pushing the limits of innovative endeavour in quantum technology and through his leadership of Diraq and contributions to UNSW Engineering and the broader quantum community, continues to inspire others to join the field, and strive for excellence. Andrew was awarded this honour by the Pearcey Foundation at the 2024 Pearcey National Awards Gala event in Brisbane, Australia. #PearceyAwards

Emerging deep tech and quantum technology hold profound economic and strategic potential with transformative impact across sectors such as defense, space, and energy. Collaborations in this rapidly changing world are also critical, with partnerships such as #AUKUS exploring the potential of dual-use applications of deep tech. This future focus is driving advancements and investments across the sector, to not only support innovation, but build workforce capabilities, access critical supply chains and develop facilities and infrastructure. With our friends at Jones Day and the American Australian Association we recently sat down with some leading global voices to discuss these issues in a forum: Global Horizons for Deep and Emerging Technologies. With perspectives from former NASA Program Director Gregory Robinson, Prof. Emily Hilder at the Department of Defence and The Hon. Dr. William Jeffrey former CEO of SRI and HRL as well as our own Andrew Dzurak, our discussion on the future of deep tech was masterfully led by former Ambassador The Hon. Arthur Sinodinos AO. Thanks to everyone who attended, our panelists and moderator as well as our co-hosts Hemang Shah and Ian Irving. #quantuminnovation #deeptech

Andrew Dzurak spoke with Stephen Hurford - sharing some insights into Diraq's quantum technology and how it can deliver a feasible and commercially viable quantum technology solution. Have a read of the article below.

It has been a fascinating few days at the Spin Qubit6 conference in Sydney - with world leading researchers from the field of solid-state, spin-based quantum information processing sharing their insights. Lots of topics about spin-based quantum bit implementations such as donors in silicon, gate-defined quantum dots in SiMOS for example, and all things quantum that we really ❤️. Also a deep dive into fabrication, algorithms and cryogenic control electronics. Diraq heaven 💗 😇! Come along and say hi 🖐 to us at our booth.

A team led by UNSW Sydney researchers, in collaboration with Australian start-up Diraq, have developed a scalable quantum computing technology by demonstrating hole-spin qubits using industry standard silicon manufacturing processes.  This innovation, led Professor Alexander Hamilton and Dr Scott Liles, could enable ultra-fast quantum processing while remaining compatible with standard silicon chip manufacturing, paving the way for practical, large-scale quantum computers. By refining hole-spin qubits, the team aims to make quantum operations more efficient and commercially viable. “This is an important step towards a new generation of high-speed silicon quantum bits, and it’s notable that the team included researchers at all levels from undergraduate students to experienced research scientists,” says Dr Scott Liles, a postdoctoral fellow from UNSW Physics. The work was a collaboration between researchers including Dr. S.Liles, Prof. Alexander Hamilton and Mr. Daniel H. at UNSW, R. Eggli at the University of Basel, and members of the Australian company Diraq led by Prof. Andrew Dzurak. For more details, check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/geztCnzG

An insightful article, published in Phys.org and written by Ingrid Fadelli, explores the physical errors in qubit processors—an important topic for the future of quantum computing. The piece highlights cutting-edge research that could lead to more reliable quantum systems, addressing critical challenges in error rates and stability.    For anyone interested in quantum technology and its progress, this is a must-read!

Really excited to be supporting Spin Qubit 6 this week, with our CEO and Founder Andrew Dzurak kicking off proceedings with a welcome address this morning in Sydney. It is going to be a great week immersed in the field of solid-state spin-based quantum information processing. #sq6 #quantumtechnology #innovation

Feeling just a little bit proud to announce that last night, Team Diraq were recognised at the InnovationAus.com Awards 2024. A fitting tribute to a lot of hard work and technical innovation in driving forward the design and manufacture of revolutionary quantum technology. Our CEO and Founder Andrew Dzurak and Chief of Staff Stefanie Tardo were on hand to accept the Award for Excellence in Defence and Dual-Use Technology and Space. Thanks to Innovation Aus - and big claps 👏 👏 👏 for all the other great innovators who received a gong, and to the finalists who were nominated. We all play a very important role in a pretty special Aussie eco-system. 🌏

🎉 Huge congrats to UNSW spinout Diraq on winning the Defence, Dual-Use Technology and Space category at the InnovationAus.com 2024 Awards for Excellence! 🏆 Under the leadership of Professor Andrew Dzurak, Diraq is racing toward a single-chip quantum computer, a monumental leap from the football-field-sized setups of some global tech giants! 🌐📏 With 60 patents, 36 team members, and 15 UNSW-based PhD students, Diraq is redefining the quantum computing landscape! 🚀 #UNSWInnovates #QuantumComputing #Diraq Stephen Rodda Dax Kukulj Jamie Conyngham Bronwyn Fox Leo Stevens Greg Ryan David J.
