Professor Michael Biercuk: Quantum technology
will be as transformational in the 21st century
as the harnassing of electricity was in the
19th.
Quantum computing in particular promises to
totally upend the way we process information,
transforming previously uncomputable problems
into manageable ones – from the chemistry
underpinning pharmaceutical discoveries or
designing personalised medicines to major
challenges in codebreaking and materials science.
We’ve partnered with governments, companies
and institutions in Australia and overseas
to solve some of the most challenging scientific
questions standing between us and the future
of quantum technology.
With major investments in quantum computing
from some of the world’s largest companies,
that future is nearly here.
We are now launching a venture-capital based
spinoff, Q-Ctrl, which will take the science
we’ve been doing out of the laboratory and
into the emerging commercial market for quantum
computing.
Professor Susan Pond: Within the Australian
Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology
here at the University of Sydney we recognise
that fundamental research is a powerful driver
of economic prosperity.
Q-Ctrl is the first spinoff company derived
from the university's strategic support for
quantum research.
Our research in quantum physics will shape
people’s lives for many decades to come.
Professor Biercuk: Q-Ctrl’s vision is to
be the trusted provider of quantum control
solutions for all new quantum technologies
in the future.
We’re really excited to get started.
