A whistle-stop tour through Europe last week as SQC's Michelle Simmons, Matthew Bradley, Joris Keizer, Yousun Chung and Barnaby R. M. Smith met with key partners across the region. In Germany, the team sat down with Scienta Omicron to advance designs for our next-generation STMs (scanning tunnelling microscopes): a critical step in expanding the atomic-scale manufacturing capability that underpins our commercial-scale systems. In Belgium, we joined semiconductor and deep tech leaders at imec's ITF World. As always, imec brought together the kind of rigorous, forward-looking dialogue that strengthens our work and moves the entire field forward. At a moment when the progress of AI has seen planetary-scale constraints on power come into near-term focus, quantum computing provides a solution. Building the ecosystem to get there requires exactly the kind of partners we've engaged in Europe: those at the frontier of precision engineering. More to come from this trip in the weeks and months ahead.

About us
We manufacture the world's highest quality qubits and deliver the highest algorithmic performance of any quantum system. We deliver quantum advantage, today, with our QML chips and molecular simulators. This is SQC. The CEO, Michelle Simmons, is the world's leading materials scientist. She developed both the world’s first single-atom transistor and the first integrated circuit made with atomic precision. The company is Chaired by Simon Segars, the former ARM CEO (2013-'22). With AU$283m (US$180m) in funding to date and a highly integrated team of over 70 engineers, SQC has developed a full-stack quantum computer. SQC manufactures our own quantum computing chips in-house at Sydney HQ using machines which allow us to see and control matter atom-by-atom. This ultra-precise approach is crucial to realising the quantum future and has already resulted in the company achieving the highest reported fidelities on quantum algorithms of any company. Owning our key manufacturing also means that we can design, produce and test new chip designs every week. The story of every tech success has been one of speed and iteration. Quantum will be the same. Web: www.sqc.com.au Contact: info@sqc.com.au

What skills get you hired in quantum today, and how can the next generation of talent future-proof their careers? SQC's Liam Potter took those questions to Sydney Quantum Academy's Quantum Future Talent Careers Fair, sharing insights on career pathways, in-demand skills like RF, IC and semiconductor engineering, and what we look for when hiring. At SQC, you see the full stack: from pure-silicon wafer to rackable system to cloud API. We bring together world-class quantum physicists and experimentalists, theorists, hardware and software engineers, all in pursuit of our fault-tolerant, commercial-scale system. If that sounds like the kind of work you want to be a part of, view our open roles: https://lnkd.in/g5pvteBV (We're rapidly scaling our commercial org, too.) #QuantumComputing #QuantumCareers #SydneyQuantumAcademy

Scientific American's June cover story asks how quantum computers will be useful, and when. At SQC, many of those answers are already here. Our Founder and CEO Michelle Simmons spoke with Zeeya Merali about the real-world problems our application-specific systems are solving today, and the pace at which the frontier is moving. The story highlights Quantum Twins, our large-scale simulation platform, and Watermelon, our quantum-enhanced AI processor whose first commercial trial with Telstra demonstrated the ability to cut model training time from weeks to days. On the path to fault-tolerant, commercial-scale systems, getting useful products in the hands of customers will move the field forward. That's exactly what we're delivering today.

For over 25 years, we have pioneered the ability to manufacture devices at the atomic scale: placing individual phosphorus atoms in pure silicon with 0.13 nanometer accuracy. This excellence in quantum hardware engineering is foundational to achieving our ultra high-quality qubits, and key to the success of our quantum-enhanced AI and simulation systems in the hands of customers today. Join our Head of Atomic Fabrication Joris Keizer on Wednesday for a live panel discussion with Nano Futures, uncovering the latest developments in atomic-scale manufacturing.

Delivering breakthrough research and world-class quantum systems requires an exceptional team. Thank you to Tech Council of Australia's Tech Careers Podcast for sitting down with SQC Founder and CEO, Michelle Simmons, to spotlight what we look for when hiring and her advice for the next generation of quantum talent. Tune in below + view our open roles here: https://lnkd.in/g5pvteBV
Episode 2 of Tech Careers Hotline is out now. Professor Michelle Simmons built the world's first single-atom transistor, founded Silicon Quantum Computing — the only company in the world manufacturing devices in silicon with atomic precision — and was named Australian of the Year in 2018. She's targeting a commercial quantum computer by 2033. Speaking with host Adair Robins, Michelle gets into what it really takes to build a deep-tech company from a research lab, what she looks for when hiring (hint: it's not your degree), and the career advice she was given when she had kids - that she ignored. 🎧 Episode 2 of Tech Careers Hotline, brought to you by the Tech Council of Australia. ▶️YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gk6jkCCi 🎵Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gMRHkwT7 🎧Apple: https://lnkd.in/gJ7Z4zQU

Advancing the future of quantum computing requires a global network of suppliers who are leaders in their field. Those that can match the precision and performance that SQC's qubits demand. Our relationship with AMD reflects just that. At SQC, we design, produce and test new quantum chips each week. That pace only works with hardware we can rely on. AMD's customer case study explores how our collaboration is accelerating both quantum innovation and commercial deployment: from qubit control and readout through to the simulation and modeling work behind our rapid chip development cycle. This lets us focus on what matters: delivering useful quantum products to our customers today, while clearing the path to fault-tolerant, commercial-scale systems.
