UNSW Sydney in association with start up Diraq have reached a milestone in the hunt for the perfect quantum computing storage qubit to allow faster and more efficient quantum computing applications. The team demonstrated hole-spin qubits – positively charged particles in semiconductors – using industry standard silicon manufacturing processes. Hole-spins qubits have the potential to…
Silicon quantum computing company Diraq is one of four global quantum computing brands that have integrated Q-CTRL’s Fire Opal performance-management software in their hardware products. The technologies of the two Australian companies combine to deliver unprecedented capabilities to end users, according to an announcement. The integration was announced at the Quantum World Congress being held…
Quantum computing processor developer Diraq has successfully demonstrated consistent and repeatable operation with above 99 percent fidelity of two-qubit gates in its SiMOS (silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor) quantum dot platform. The technical breakthrough in producing workable quantum computing chips was detailed in a study: Assessment of the errors of high-fidelity two-qubit gates in silicon quantum dots published…
Quantum computing processor developer Diraq has announced an additional $7 million USD in Series A funding, bringing the total round funding raised to $22 million. The company attracted further investment from strategic investors including Main Sequence, Taronga Ventures, Uniseed and UniSuper, Co:Act Capital as funding from foundation shareholder and research partner, UNSW, Sydney. Diraq’s Series…
Silicon based quantum computer chip developer Diraq has announced the development of a record control accuracy of 99.9 percent for a quantum bit (qubit) manufactured utilising industry standard silicon wafers. The chip was manufactured by the Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre in Belgium, a leading digital technologies R&D centre. Diraq also announced that GlobalFoundries, one of the…
Silicon quantum processor manufacturer Diraq has announced a breakthrough in the operation of its processors overcoming one of the drawbacks of the technology – that quantum systems usually run at ultra low temperatures and need cumbersome cooling systems. The Sydney company revealed the results in a paper published in the journal Nature today showing that…
Sydney-based quantum computing startup Diraq has completed a Series A-2 capital raise of $29 million (US$15m) to advance the company’s R&D initiatives to realise the full potential of quantum computing. The funding for Diraq, a leader in quantum computing based on silicon quantum dots, was led by Paris-based specialist investor Quantonation with participation from John…
Leading Australian quantum computing software and hardware companies have partnered to on three multi-million-dollar projects to expand the commercial adoption of quantum computing. According to quantum error correction software company Q-CTRL and silicon based quantum hardware innovator Diraq, their partnership is the first stage of delivering new, high-impact quantum computing capabilities to the global market,…
Sydney-based quantum computing startup Diraq has been awarded a $3 million grant from the NSW Quantum Computing Commercialisation Fund (QCCF) to assist with R&D. Diraq, which is aiming to enable up to billions of spin-based qubits on a circuit using CMOS chip fabrication processes, was awarded the grant following an “extensive peer review by a…
