About Quantum Australia
Quantum Australia is a pioneering organisation bringing together Australia’s top research institutions, industry leaders, and Quantum organisations. Our mission is to accelerate the development and adoption of quantum technology by fostering collaboration, driving innovation, and building a thriving quantum ecosystem.
The organisation brings together Australia’s quantum leaders across industry, academia, and the startup ecosystem to fundamentally shift the dial on the translation of quantum technologies and position Australia as a leader in the market. Administered by the University of Sydney over an initial 3-year period, Quantum Australia is supported by an $18.4M grant from the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, with significant additional financial support from state governments and university partners.
A central team will be based in Sydney to support state and territory-based teams (Nodes) in NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, and the ACT. These Nodes will reside within the other Quantum Australia’s partner universities.
