Diraq’s innovative hardware, constructed using a novel technology known as spins in silicon, addresses the scale-up challenge in quantum computing to reach millions of qubits. UNSW Scientia Professor Andrew Dzurak, CEO and Founder of Diraq, highlighted the company’s unique approach. “While our quantum processors still require refrigeration, the costs and complexity of the overall system are dramatically reduced at these elevated temperatures,” said Dzurak.
Dr. Henry Yang, Head of Quantum Control at Diraq and lead author of a previous paper on ‘hot qubits,’ explained the team’s meticulous exploration of physical parameters to achieve high-accuracy qubit control, initialization, and readout at elevated temperatures.
