Deteqt is seeking a hands-on Photonics Engineer to define and own the optical excitation and fluorescence readout system for Deteqt’s diamond-on-chip quantum sensors.

You will be responsible for the end-to-end photonic architecture, from light-source selection and optical modelling through to prototyping, testing, and delivery of a manufacturable photonics package integrated with diamond and CMOS electronics. Your work will directly shape signal strength, stability, and repeatability in our first field-deployable devices.

Research from Macquarie University, led by Dr Christina Giarmatzi has reconstructed how errors develop and spread inside working quantum computers, revealing that noise can link events across time rather than appearing as isolated random faults.

Long before quantum technologies entered the spotlight, a series of breakthroughs transformed how we understand the universe. These moments laid the foundations for the powerful quantum technologies now reshaping our world.

International exchanges give SQA scholars the chance to learn new techniques, spark fresh ideas, and strengthen Australia’s contribution to the global quantum community.

Teachers gather to understand how quantum technology will reshape future careers — and what students need to know now.

The 2026 ARC Discovery Projects round awarded over $370 million nationally across all disciplines, with six NSW quantum science and technology projects receiving $3.75M in funding.

High school students from across New South Wales spent three days exploring the building blocks of quantum computing — from creating new games with qubits to meeting the scientists shaping Australia’s quantum industry.

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH | Students are getting hands-on experience in the quantum tech field – with hopes the growing sector will encourage professionals to stay local and contribute to Australia’s advancement in the technology.

Telstra and Silicon Quantum Computing have achieved a major milestone, applying quantum machine learning to smarter network prediction and analytics

The Nobel winners carried out experiments in the mid-1980s with an electronic circuit built of superconductors and demonstrated that quantum mechanics could also influence everyday objects under certain conditions.

From SQA PhD scholar at the University of Sydney to startup founder: Felix Thomsen on founding Iceberg Quantum— and why he isn’t waiting for Silicon Valley.

Listen in to hear how quantum is moving from the lab to everyday life, featuring SQA CEO Peter Turner and UNSW A/Prof Jarryd Pla.
