Silicon quantum startup Diraq is joining the Illinois government’s push to develop new quantum technologies using state-of-the-art facilities in Chicago, giving the Sydney company its third US base and a presence alongside its biggest competitors.

Diraq this week signed on as a future tenant for the under-construction Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP), which is set to be anchored by the Australian government-backed PsiQuantum when it opens in 2027.

But the Sydney startup, which has so far raised almost $200 million in venture investment and support, will get access to the Chicago ecosystem much earlier.
