The University of Sydney welcomes the announced today by the Minister for Industry and Science, the Hon. Ed Husic MP, and Australia鈥檚 Chief Scientist, Dr听Cathy Foley.

We look forward to working with the Australian Government to deliver on the promise of quantum technologies.

The University of Sydney Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research)听Professor Emma Johnston said: 鈥淚t is heartening to see such an ambitious strategy for quantum technologies.

鈥淐ombined with continued and deepening investment in fundamental research through the Australian Research Council and other government initiatives, this can deliver a positive platform to deliver Australia鈥檚 quantum future.鈥�

Professor Stephen Bartlett听is head of the University of Sydney听Quantum Theory Group听and Associate Dean (Research) in the Faculty of Science.

He said:听鈥淎longside the National Quantum Strategy announced today, it is vital that the government continues its strong investment in fundamental quantum science research.

鈥淒elivering on the promise of quantum computing still requires us to tackle big open challenges in basic science and engineering. That鈥檚 why the University of Sydney is investing in the听Future Qubit Foundry. Tomorrow鈥檚 quantum computers will use qubits that are yet to be invented.鈥�

Quantum tech at the University听

Australia is a global leader in quantum technologies and University of Sydney researchers are at the core of this leadership.听高清福利片 strengths range from fundamental physics and quantum information science through to technology development, incorporating a diverse range of physical platforms.

Our scientific pursuits are complemented by deep industry engagement and entrepreneurial activities. The University of Sydney hosts a node of the听听network led by听Professor David Reilly听and our quantum effort also resulted in the formation of Australia鈥檚 first venture-capital backed quantum-tech start-up,听, founded by听Professor Michael Biercuk.听

In 2020, the University was instrumental in launching the听, a partnership of four universities in Sydney with the NSW Government.

This year, the University of Sydney has announced a $7.4 million investment to expand its quantum technology facilities to establish the听Future Qubit Foundry听at the听Sydney Nanoscience Hub.听This foundry will be a national-leading facility to invent the technology of tomorrow鈥檚 quantum computers, enabling them to operate at scale and be of use to society.

The National Quantum Strategy describes the central role that research universities will play in developing an Australian quantum technology ecosystem.听高清福利片ers will continue to work at the cutting edge of quantum science and engage with both our existing industry partnerships and develop new ones to translate our scientific insight into tomorrow鈥檚 quantum industry.听

The Future Qubit Foundry can serve as a lightning rod, attracting emerging quantum industries to leverage our world-class research infrastructure to design the next generation of qubit technologies.听And we will continue our efforts as a partner in the Sydney Quantum Academy, training the skilled and growing quantum workforce that is critical to a dynamic technology ecosystem in Australia.
