About Diraq
Diraq builds quantum computers based on spin qubits made from modified silicon transistors. A spin qubit stores quantum information in the spin of a single electron, and using transistor-like devices means the chips can in principle be made in existing semiconductor factories. The company was founded in 2022 as a spin-out from UNSW Sydney and is led by Andrew Dzurak. It lists GlobalFoundries and imec as manufacturing partners and has published results in Nature journals on silicon qubit fidelity.
Diraq was founded in 2022 and is based in Sydney, Australia. It is listed under Quantum Computing. Reported funding is $38M CHIPS Act LOI (May 2026); AU$20M NRFC equity (Feb 2026).

What Diraq works on
Quantum Computing
A quantum computer is a machine that uses the rules of quantum physics to process information. Its basic unit is the qubit. A classical bit is either 0 or 1. A qubit can be in a superposition, a state that combines both, and its measured result is probabilistic.
