About Silicon Quantum Computing
Silicon Quantum Computing builds quantum processors from silicon and phosphorus atoms, placing the atoms in the chip with atomic precision. Qubits are the basic units of quantum computing, and here they are encoded in the spins of individual phosphorus atoms embedded in silicon. Its site lists Watermelon, a quantum feature generator for machine learning workflows, and Quantum Twins, a quantum analogue simulator for chemicals and materials. Gate-based processors called the Chilli Series are listed as coming soon. The company was founded in 2017 in Sydney, Australia, by Michelle Simmons, who is also chief executive.
Silicon Quantum Computing was founded in 2017 and is based in Sydney, Australia. It is listed under Quantum Computing. Reported funding is A$20M from National Reconstruction Fund (2026, SAFE note).

What Silicon Quantum Computing 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.
