Australian quantum computing company
Silicon Quantum Computing Pty Ltd (SQC) is a Sydney , Australia-based quantum computing company.
The company develops quantum computers and analogue quantum devices using phosphorus atoms manufactured within silicon[ 1] scanning tunnelling microscopes , an approach within the field of spin qubits .
History
SQC was founded by Michelle Simmons in 2017.[ 2] [ 3] Simon Segars [ 4] Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ARM Holdings PLC.
At incorporation, the company raised A$83 million from the Australian Federal Government , the New South Wales Government, the University of New South Wales , Telstra and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia .[ 5]
Technology
SQC uses phosphorus atoms precision-placed within pure silicon (Si-28)[ 6] [ 1] qubits . Simmons' research group, prior to the incorporation of SQC in 2012, created the first single atom transistor.[ 7] [ 8] [ 9]
