Silicon Quantum Computing

SQC are delighted to share that we have been awarded a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) contract under the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) program. The purpose of this program is to rigorously verify and validate if any quantum computing approach can achieve utility-scale operation, meaning its computational value exceeds its cost, by the year 2033. Our Founder and CEO, Michelle Simmons, said, “We are extremely excited to be selected for this award and to be working with the expert team at DARPA. Not only is the associated funding incredibly useful, DARPA’s third-party interrogation of our path to a utility-scale quantum computer will be immensely valuable. At SQC we have always been focused on the end goal, to deliver a useful quantum computer. “This award from DARPA validates SQC’s global leadership in the race to develop quantum computers that can deliver reliable, real-world, commercial solutions.” We’re looking forward to further validating SQC’s world leading qubit quality, in-house atomic precision engineering, and full stack model. We're excited for the next chapter, follow us to hear more!

March 8 marked International Women’s Day, a day where we at SQC like to acknowledge and celebrate the remarkable, influential and diverse women in our organisation.  It’s no surprise that SQC is a modern, forward looking and highly integrated company, with Michelle Simmons as our Founder and CEO. The women of SQC work across the research and commercial side of the business. They hail from a beautifully diverse range of cultures: England, Canada, India, Colombia, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Zimbabwe, the Phillipines and, of course, Australia. SQC’s goal is always to hire the very best people. Become entangled with us and visit sqc.com.au/careers today.  #IWD2025 #quantumcomputing #InternationalWomensDay #IWD #womeninSTEM

Today we announced that we have demonstrated world-leading accuracy in the operation of Grover’s algorithm without error correction. This result proves the strategic advantage of our high-quality qubits and atomic precision manufacturing. SQC Founder and CEO Michelle Simmons said, “The world-leading performance of our quantum processor validates our quality-first approach. Prioritizing qubit quality and precision manufacturing is the key to scalability, developing commercial applications, and unlocking the full potential of quantum technology.” The result reinforces SQC’s quality advantage over competitors and confirms it as a leading contender to deliver a commercial-scale quantum computer.

SQC and NVIDIA highlight AI’s role in advancing tech design   Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) was proud to share the stage with NVIDIA at a recent conference hosted by Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in collaboration with Nature Magazine. At the event, SQC’s Founder and CEO, Michelle Simmons, presented how silicon based quantum processors are both enhancing AI’s accuracy and benefiting from AI driven advancements in precision manufacturing.    She introduced SQC’s new quantum feature generator, which leverages quantum states to improve AI driven pattern recognition. Professor Simmons said, “As a company pioneering quantum computing through atomic-scale engineering, we are both leveraging and enhancing AI to push the boundaries of quantum processor development.”   The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing is shaping the future of technology. AI is already revolutionising semiconductor design, and its impact on quantum technologies is just beginning. As SQC continues its mission to build scalable quantum processors, we are committed to integrating AI to unlock the full potential of silicon-based quantum computing. Stay tuned for more updates, this is set to be an exciting year. #QuantumComputing #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #Innovation #KAIST #NVIDIA #NatureConference
