Quantum pioneer Diraq has proved that its silicon quantum dot qubits can be made in a manufacturing environment with consistently low error rates, marking a crucial step toward utility-scale quantum systems for the Sydney-based startup.
Research published in scientific journal Nature overnight shows Diraq’s chips repeatedly achieved an error rate below 1 per cent — the minimum threshold for enabling large-scale quantum computing — in two-qubit operations.
Andrew Dzurak, the founder and chief executive of Diraq, said the result with semiconductor manufacturer imec means the company has hit its main milestone for 2025 and is now “off to the races”.
