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…
Diraq opens commercial laboratory in Sydney Silicon-based quantum computing company Diraq opened its new commercial laboratory, located UNSW’s campus at Sydney, on Tuesday. The company, which announced a successful Series A-2 capital raise of $29 million (US$15m) last week, said the lab is “a critical step” in its plans “to leverage today’s semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure…
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…
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…
