UNSW Sydney has secured the highest number of Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage grants in the latest round, receiving more than $4.6 million in funding to collaborate with industry and government partners on research projects, several of which focus on advancing Australia’s manufacturing capability.

Linde Engineering has signed an agreement with PsiQuantum to supply a large cryogenic cooling plant for what is set to become the world’s first utility-scale quantum computer, to be built in Brisbane, Queensland.

Australian quantum computing company Diraq has announced a breakthrough in its silicon spin qubit technology, demonstrating a violation of Bell’s inequality — a key benchmark in quantum physics that confirms the presence of entanglement and high qubit fidelity.

Australian quantum computing company Diraq has announced it will lead an international consortium participating in the US Government’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI), a program run by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to explore the viability of utility-scale quantum computers by 2033.

Quantum Brilliance and the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre have announced a new hybrid workflow designed to integrate quantum computing with high-performance computing (HPC) systems. 

CSIRO researchers have demonstrated the practical application of quantum machine learning, showing how quantum computing can enhance the analysis of large datasets across multiple industries, including traffic management, agriculture, healthcare, and energy optimisation.

Industries like mining and manufacturing may often be perceived as traditional, but they are rapidly evolving thanks to groundbreaking technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing.

The Australian Government is making a significant investment in local innovation, focusing on quantum and counter-disinformation technologies to give defence a technological edge while fostering a future built in Australia.

A UNSW Sydney-led team, in collaboration with Australian start-up Diraq, has achieved a breakthrough in quantum computing by demonstrating the use of hole-spin qubits with industry-standard silicon manufacturing techniques. 

Quantum computing is poised to revolutionise technology, but building one remains a complex challenge, according to Andrea Morello, Scientia Professor of Quantum Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW).
