Australian quantum computing company Diraq has announced that founder and CEO Andrew Dzurak has been elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, one of the country’s highest scientific honours. The recognition reflects Professor Dzurak’s pioneering work in silicon-based quantum computing and his contribution to advancing scalable quantum technologies. The appointment highlights the growing global recognition of Australia’s leadership in quantum research and commerc

Diraq is taking a different approach to scaling quantum computing by building its technology to work directly with the same manufacturing processes used to produce everyday computer chips. This compatibility with standard CMOS fabrication means quantum processors can be developed using existing semiconductor infrastructure, rather than requiring entirely new systems. By aligning with proven chip-making technology, Diraq aims to make quantum hardware easier to produce, more re

Diraq is pushing quantum computing beyond the lab by focusing on how it can be built and scaled in the real world. Rather than relying on specialised, experimental setups, its approach uses silicon-based qubits that can be manufactured using the same processes as conventional computer chips. This shift is important because it tackles one of the biggest challenges in quantum computing: moving from small, fragile systems to large, reliable machines. By using established semicon

Join Diraq's CEO Andrew Dzurak from NVIDIA’s latest GTC 2026 session. Andrew highlights the accelerating convergence of AI infrastructure and next-generation computing architectures, with a clear focus on scaling performance to meet surging global demand.

Diraq has entered the next phase of the DARPA “Quantum Benchmarking Initiative”, positioning itself at the frontline of the race to build a commercially viable, utility-scale quantum computer. The initiative is structured to rigorously evaluate whether quantum computing architectures are capable of delivering value that exceeds their build and operational costs by 2033. Diraq’s involvement leverages its silicon-spin-qubit technology and manufacturing compatibility with existi

Diraq’s silicon spin qubits are exceptionally fast, performing up to a million fault-tolerant operations in under a minute — but this speed demands a powerful, low-latency interface to manage control, error correction and hybrid quantum-classical processes.
