SQC has been awarded an Australian Government Defence contract through the Advanced Strategic Capabilities Accelerator’s (ASCA) Emerging and Disruptive Technologies (EDT) program.
SQC will deliver one of our Watermelon QML systems to Defence.
Watermelon QML systems are engineered with atomic precision at our quantum chip manufacturing plant in Sydney. The systems deliver superior machine learning outcomes by leveraging quantum properties to improve efficacy and to detect patterns potentially impossible to identify with classical computing approaches. All this with lower resource requirements.
We offer access to these systems either as turnkey hardware units for incorporation into customers’ data centres or direct fibre access to machines securely hosted at SQC HQ.
Quantum technologies are a vital sovereign capability and can be applied across government and defence as well as many other sectors. Owning and using new computing capabilities is a vital part of the economy of the future and plays a large role in ensuring the safety and prosperity of Australian businesses and citizens.
SQC is proud to play a leading role. We develop IP in Australia, manufacture the world’s most precisely engineered computing processors in New South Wales, and foster domestic technical talent.
SQC’s Founder and CEO, Michelle Simmons, said:
“ASCA is a world leading example of government engagement with frontier technologies. ASCA, Defence and the Government’s foresight will see Australia prosper and be secure into the future. We are proud to see our hardware be an integral part of that strategy.”
