Watch them take on Australia’s quantum capabilities, the frontier technology ecosystem, AUKUS and building future industries in this video
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.
Quantum Computing: Unlocking New Possibilities in Financial Services
Fleet Space, Australia’s leading space exploration company, today announced a series of partnerships with innovators mDetect, Nomad Atomics, and DeteQt. These collaborations will expand the technology frontier of the global mining industry by developing the next generation of quantum sensors needed to fuel the growth of AI-powered mineral exploration. With these partnerships, Fleet Space will advance the acquisition and processing speed of geophysical datasets and build an innovation path for muon tomography to become a valuable input for enhancing the geological predictions of modern AI systems. As part of Fleet Space’s expansion of its vertically integrated ExoSphere platform, the company is advancing exploration technology development with frontier tech start ups and leading academic institutions like Stanford’s Mineral-X and MIT’s Space Exploration Initiative to enhance efficiency, speed, and precision across the mineral value chain on Earth and beyond.
