Our Experience
Magnitude of Acceleration
Forward-thinking ambition requires genuinely visionary backers. That’s why Silicon Quantum Computing launched in May 2017 with over A$83 million of capital funding from the Australian Commonwealth Government, UNSW Sydney, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Telstra Corporation and the State Government of New South Wales.
SQC’s foundation intellectual property was developed at the Australian Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communications Technology (CQC2T). Led by a team of brilliant thinkers, including 2018 Australian of the Year Professor Michelle Simmons AO and her colleagues Professors Sven Rogge, Andrew Dzurak and Andrea Morello, CQC2T produced many ‘World firsts’. These included the longest coherence times; highest fidelity qubits in a solid state; the ability to optically address single dopant atoms in silicon; the lowest noise silicon devices; and the first two 2 qubit gate in silicon.
