Silicon Quantum Computing

Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) is an Australian quantum technology company founded in 2017 that develops silicon-based quantum processors using silicon spin qubits fabricated with semiconductor manufacturing techniques, leveraging Australia’s strong research in silicon quantum devices to create scalable quantum computers that can utilize existing chip fabrication infrastructure, focusing on building fault-tolerant quantum systems for practical applications while working closely with academic institutions and government initiatives to advance Australia’s quantum computing capabilities. In October 2025, SQC and Telstra announced results from a joint initiative taking quantum computing out of the lab and into the telecommunications industry, marking a new milestone in Australia’s journey towards quantum-enabled digital infrastructure and demonstrating practical applications of quantum technology in telecommunications.
