SQC has been awarded an Australian Government Defence contract through the Advanced Strategic Capabilities Accelerator’s (ASCA) Emerging and Disruptive Technologies (EDT) program.
SQC will deliver one of our Watermelon QML systems to Defence.
Watermelon QML systems are engineered with atomic precision at our quantum chip manufacturing plant in Sydney. The systems deliver superior machine learning outcomes by leveraging quantum properties to improve efficacy and to detect patterns potentially impossible to identify with classical computing approaches. All this with lower resource requirements.
We offer access to these systems either as turnkey hardware units for incorporation into customers’ datacenters or direct fiber access to machines securely hosted at SQC HQ.
Quantum technologies are a vital sovereign capability and can be applied across government and defence as well as many other sectors. Owning and using new computing capabilities is a vital part of the economy of the future and plays a large role in ensuring the safety and prosperity of Australian businesses and citizens.
SQC is proud to play a leading role. We develop IP in Australia, manufacture the world’s most precisely engineered computing processors in New South Wales, and foster domestic technical talent.
“ASCA is a world leading example of government engagement with frontier technologies,” said SQC’s Founder and CEO, Michelle Simmons. “ASCA, Defence and the Government’s foresight will see Australia prosper and be secure into the future. We are proud to see our hardware be an integral part of that strategy.”
About Silicon Quantum Computing:
Silicon Quantum Computing Pty Ltd (SQC) is at the forefront of global efforts to build a commercial-scale quantum computer.
Established in May 2017, it is the world’s first atomic precision manufacturing company focused on delivering the highest quality qubits and commercial outcomes as they scale.
The CEO, Michelle Simmons, is the world's leading materials scientist. She developed both the world’s first single-atom transistor and the first integrated circuit made with atomic precision. The company is Chaired by Simon Segars, the former ARM CEO.
With AU$283m (US$180m) in funding to date, and a highly integrated team of over 70 engineers, SQC manufactures their quantum computing chips in-house at their HQ in Sydney. SQC uses machines and processes which allow them to see and control matter atom-by-atom. This ultra-precise approach is crucial to realising the quantum future and has already resulted in the company achieving the highest reported fidelities on quantum algorithms of any company. Owning their chip manufacturing also means that they can design, produce and test new chip designs every week alongside delivering quantum machine learning and quantum chemical simulation systems today.
