The federal and Queensland governments are each chipping in $470 million to the tech startup PsiQuantum." Also see May 3, 2023 National Quantum Strategy | |
| May 6 at 21:32 | comment | added | uhoh | There's news in May 2024: Australia signs deal worth almost $1b with PsiQuantum to build world's first 'useful' quantum computer and PsiQuantum Receives $940 Million (AUD) From Australian Government — May Now Be World’s Highest Funded Independent Quantum Firm | |

| Apr 6, 2022 at 22:24 | comment | added | uhoh | @SwiftPushkar that links to ‘Hundreds’ Of China Hypersonic Tests Vs. 9 US; Hyten Says US Moves Too Slowly which is quite fun politics-of-tech reading as well! | |

| Apr 6, 2022 at 10:01 | comment | added | CDJB♦ | @uhoh yes, I added some examples that Morrison has spoken about previously - it seems like Australia is interested in leveraging quantum technologies for more purposes than just defence. | |

| Apr 6, 2022 at 9:54 | comment | added | uhoh | Oh, that quantum!? Not quantum computing but "positioning, navigation, and timing" i.e. something along the lines of What do/will "quantum gyroscopes using nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond" for space applications actually look like, and how do they work? and What will be the accuracy of an Atomic (Quantum) Inertial Sensor used in spaceflight? Those are about space applications but these non-GPS navigation technologies can be used on Earth too | |
