Australia-founded quantum computing company Quantum Brilliance (QB) announced a strategic collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to jointly develop a platform that integrates quantum computing with high-performance computing (HPC). 

Sydney-based quantum computing innovator Diraq has unveiled a major breakthrough, showcasing two-qubit gates operating with over 99 per cent accuracy on its SiMOS quantum dot platform.

The Future Made in Australia program was a centrepiece of the Albanese government's Federal Budget this year. One of the program's main aims is to position Australia as a global leader in manufacturing in modern industries such as renewable energy, critical minerals processing, and quantum computing.

Engineers at Diraq, an Australian startup specialising in quantum processor development, have achieved a significant milestone in quantum computing by enabling quantum processors to function at temperatures much warmer than previously thought feasible.

The Australian Government announced the appointment of Fiona Pak-Poy as its Shareholder Nominee Director of the Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) Board.

CSIRO has awarded a $332,000 funding boost to a Deakin University-led quantum computing project as part of the $3.6 million Next Generation Quantum Graduates Program. 

The 2023 Prime Minister's Prizes for Science are highlighting and celebrating Australian accomplishments in quantum science, biotechnology, and outstanding teaching, with the awardees being honoured and celebrated for their significant contributions.

A team of scientists at the University of Sydney have successfully demonstrated the potential of quantum technology in exploring new designs in material science, drugs, or solar energy harvesting by slowing down a process critical in chemical reactions by a factor of 100 billion times. 

Semiconductor manufacturing company Archer Materials Limited has sent its newly developed next-generation biochip fabrication to a commercial foundry partner in the Netherlands for a whole wafer run validation. 

Australian quantum computing hardware manufacturer Silicon Quantum Computing has completed its $50.4 million Series A capital round in a push to develop the world’s first scalable, error-corrected quantum computer.
