The State of Australian quantum report provides updates on how we've implemented the National Quantum Strategy. It also highlights the successes, challenges and next steps for Australia's quantum industry.
The National Quantum Strategy, released in May 2023, sets the vision that Australia will be a leader of the global quantum industry in 2030. The State of Australian Quantum report looks at Australia’s early progress on that journey.

The conference will take place outside Sydney for the first time, where it was previously managed by the Sydney Quantum Academy. The Queensland node of Quantum Australia, led by The University of Queensland (UQ) in collaboration with Griffith University and the University of Southern Queensland, will play a pivotal role in hosting and organising the event.

University of Melbourne Associate Professor Giuseppe Barca and his team were named the winners of the Association for Computing Machinery’s Gordon Bell Prize this morning (AEST) at the SC International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis in Atlanta, Georgia.
Dr. Morello began his career with an undergraduate degree in electronics engineering at the Politecnico di Torino in Italy. His growing passion for experimental quantum science led him to complete his PhD in physics in 2004 at the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory, Leiden University, in the Netherlands, followed by a 2-year postdoc at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. His studies there focused on nuclear spin dynamics in molecular magnets, their coherence properties, and applications of molecular magnets to quantum computing.
The new centre, Quantum Australia, represents an ambitious national endeavour aimed at strengthening Australia's quantum technology sector. This pioneering organisation unites Australia's top research institutions, industry leaders, and quantum-focused enterprises. Its aims to accelerate the development and adoption of quantum technology by fostering collaboration, driving innovation, and nurturing a vibrant quantum ecosystem.
