About Diraq:
Diraq aims to redefine scalable quantum computing and bring practical commercial applications to the world via billions of qubits on single chips, compared to the hundreds of qubits that exist today. We are currently expanding our team to create an end-to-end quantum computing company – providing quantum hardware and software as a full stack, cloud accessible service.
Our proprietary technology, backed by 20 years of research and over USD $135M in funding across 11 patent families, allows us to scale using existing silicon CMOS manufacturing and existing foundries, to enable a faster and cheaper road to market.
We are a team of world leading scientists, engineers, and business professionals who, with our existing IP and partnerships with global technical and commercial partners, will build the quantum ecosystem of the future and enable the creation of significant economic returns across the value chain.
Since Diraq’s incorporation in May 2022, we’ve embarked on an exciting journey that will be a defining phase in our company's history. By expanding our commercial and technical team in Sydney and establishing our global presence, we're moving at speed to achieve our Phase 1 technical milestones. Our journey is more than just ambitious growth—it is the realisation of our vision, backed by the solid support of venture capital, and delivered by our remarkable team.
If you're invigorated by a rapidly evolving environment and aspire to be part of a journey that shapes the future, we warmly invite you to join us on this remarkable adventure.
