Quantum Brilliance, an ANU spin-off company led by physicists Dr Marcus Doherty and Dr Andrew Horsley, has utilised synthetic diamonds in the development of quantum microprocessors. Unlike traditional quantum technologies, which require cryogenic cooling and other expensive, complex infrastructure, the team's innovative platform can be operated at room temperature, enabling the high computational power of quantum computing to be utilised for more widespread applications. "We're shrinking quantum down to something smaller than a lunchbox, to slot in wherever you have computers today, whether it be underneath your desk, in data centres, hospitals, or even on a satellite," said Dr Horsley. "We want to make quantum computing ubiquitous." ANU has recently signed a license agreement with Quantum Brilliance, which will enable the technology developed from the university to be utilised in the start-up's activities. ANU Pro Vice-Chancellor Innovation & Enterprise, Professor Michael Cardew-Hall, commended Quantum Brilliance on their progress.
