ICM HPQC (High-Performance Quantum Computing) is committed to investing in the next generation of computing technologies. We invest in companies that focus on advancing high-performance computing, developing quantum technologies, and innovating new data-center solutions. These companies aim to push the boundaries of computational power, enhance data processing capabilities, and support emerging technological advancements across various industries.
Diraq’s technology was invented for the very purpose of scalability by founder, Laureate Professor Andrew Dzurak, who realised in the early 2000s that quantum computers were going to need many millions of physical qubits to deliver on the promises of the technology, and that semiconductor manufacturing would be the only way to do this at the necessary scale. Professor Dzurak has dedicated his life’s work to this technology and has had many world-firsts, including the first demonstration of a qubit using a modified transistor back in 2014.
ICM HPQC has conviction that Diraq’s “spins in silicon” technology may be one of the only ways to build a quantum computer that can deliver commercially useful machines in a cost-
effective way and in a form-factor that is practical for end-users. With designs to eventually fit billions of qubits on a single chip, Diraq challenges the assumption that quantum computers will need to be networked together in a large system. By building a quantum computer in a single system, Diraq aims to deliver commercially relevant systems to the world by the end of decade.
