Dev, Diraq - Boyar Naito, and Australian Ambassador to the U.S. Kevin RuddWASHINGTON, DC- Yesterday, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, Australian Ambassador to the U.S. Kevin Rudd, and United Kingdom Ambassador the U.S. Peter Mandelson met with business and technology leaders to discuss boosting collaboration and advancing innovation in the fast-growing quantum industries. As part of the event, the three leaders participated in a quantum roundtable alongside leading international quantum companies, highlighting opportunities for joint research and design efforts, cross-border partnerships, and workforce development. Illinois also signed a letter of intent which will see Australian technology firm Diraq expand its US footprint to the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park as a tenant. Diraq is working on technology that supports quantum computers in the exchange of information.

Fraunhofer IAF’s unique quantum computing infrastructure operates the latest quantum accelerator by Quantum Brilliance. It is Europe’s first compact quantum accelerator based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. With its compact size and robust integration without cryogenics, the second-generation Quantum Development Kit (QB-QDK2.0) enables hybrid quantum-classical computing. The system will be made available to partners across science and industry to explore its capabilities and advance real-world quantum applications.
