The 2023 Boyer Lectures – Michelle Simmons, Founder & CEO, Silicon Quantum Computing
Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) CEO Michelle Simmons has delivered the 2023 Boyer Lectures. The series, titled ‘The Atomic Revolution’, reflects on what started out a quarter century ago as frontier science to test the bounds of what was technically possible. Since then SQC have demonstrated the ability to manufacture atomic-scale devices of extraordinary precision and […]
SQC CEO Awarded 2023 Prime Minister’s Prize for Science
Sydney, Australia – 16 October 2023 –Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) CEO Michelle Simmons thanked UNSW Sydney and praised the work of her team over the past 25 years as she was awarded the 2023 Prime Minister’s Prize for Science this week for achievements in the field of atomic electronics. “Having our nation’s leaders […]
Silicon Quantum Computing raises $50.4m
Sydney, Australia – 24 July 2023 – Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) has closed a $50.4m Series A capital raising to fund its ongoing quest to manufacture the world’s first scalable, error corrected quantum computer.

Exquisite control of qubit wavefunctions in devices
Sydney, Australia, 26 June 2023 – Atom-based qubits in silicon represent the most precise platform in the solid state for scalable quantum processors. Core to understanding the operation of single and two qubit gates in these processors is to observe the underlying qubit wave functions and how these are controlled by metallic gates during device […]
Michelle Simmons portrait selected as finalist in the 2023 Archibald Prize
SQC’s CEO and Founder, Michelle Simmons, recently had the honour of working with artist Charles Mouyat, who’s portrait of her has been selected as a finalist in the 2023 Archibald Prize. We asked Charles about his inspiration for the portrait. He said, “What mattered most to me in entering this year was that my subject […]
Atomic precision experiments redefine our understanding of quantum tunnelling
Sydney, Australia, 8 March 2023 – SQC’s precision control of tunnelling experiments combined with multi-scale modelling has revealed that physicists’ understanding of quantum tunnel barriers was wrong. Key to engineering high fidelity quantum processors is the ability to control quantum tunnelling across every aspect of the device operation. This not only includes qubit entanglement, […]
