DARPA has selected eleven companies to enter the second stage (Stage B) of the agency’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI), which aims to rigorously verify and validate whether any quantum computing approach can achieve utility-scale operation — meaning its computational value exceeds its cost — by the year 2033.
Melbourne, Australia, November 5, 2025 – Quantum Brilliance, a global leader in mass-deployable, room-temperature diamond quantum technology, announced the official opening of the Quantum Diamond Foundry, the world’s first commercial facility dedicated to producing quantum-grade diamond at scale.
The role will be expected to successfully drive educational excellence within the university’s teaching and learning communities
Quantum computing promises to transform everything from drug discovery and materials science to artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. But building a useful quantum computer requires more than just qubits - it demands scalable infrastructure, cryogenic electronics, and precision control systems operating at the limits of physics.
Quantum Error Correction (QEC) has rapidly become the centre of gravity for global quantum computing progress — and this year’s Quantum Error Correction Report 2025 from Riverlane captures just how dramatically the landscape has shifted. With real-time QEC now recognised worldwide as the essential pathway to utility-scale quantum computing, this report distils the technical breakthroughs, workforce insights, and strategic signals shaping the race toward fault-tolerant machines.
As the world turns its attention to Brisbane 2032, Queensland is showing how scientific excellence can be a competitive advantage, not just for athletes, but for a nation. From the playing field to the city streets, the state’s leading universities are bringing quantum technologies out of the lab and into a landmark opportunity to showcase Australia’s strength in science, innovation and sport.
The position plays a key role in a team working to develop, test, and prepare SNSPDs for commercial use
Delivering the National Quantum Update: Australia at Quantum World Congress 2025, Petra Andrén, CEO of Quantum Australia, outlined a transformative year for the country’s quantum ecosystem. After 25 years of pioneering research—from the world’s first single-atom transistor to Nobel-winning physics—Australia is now turning these breakthroughs into market-ready technologies and a rapidly growing national industry.
The ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computer Performance and Integration, based at UNSW, is a recently established national research centre positioned to drive the next wave of quantum technology innovation in Australia
This report, Quantum shift: How are Australian organisations navigating the quantum frontier?, Presents findings from a quantum readiness study undertaken by CSIRO in 2025 where we assessed four key dimensions:
