Diraq has been ranked the #1 corporate institution in Australia for research output in 2025 by the Nature Index, recognising the company’s leadership in quantum computing research.
The Nature Index is a premier benchmark for scientific excellence, tracking high-quality research across 145 natural-science and health-science journals. These publications are selected by an independent panel of researchers based on their prestige and impact. This top-tier ranking is secured by 6 primary research publications during the tracking period, highlighting the significant impact and quality of Diraq’s work in silicon-based quantum computing.
This achievement is underpinned by a long-standing commitment to scientific rigor, with the Diraq team having published more than 40 papers in the prestigious Nature and Science families of journals to date. This consistent track record in world-leading publications reflects the deep sophistication and value of Diraq’s intellectual property, validating its silicon-based approach within the most elite peer-reviewed circles.
Australia has long been established as a global centre of excellence for quantum technologies. Diraq is proud to lead this national effort as the sector transitions from foundational science to tangible engineering.
“This recognition reflects the exceptional work of the Diraq team and the strength of Australia’s quantum research ecosystem,” said Andrew Dzurak, Founder and CEO of Diraq.
“We are now at the point where foundational research is translating into practical quantum systems. By the end of this year, Diraq will place a quantum computer in a data centre, with a clear path to scaling to millions of qubits using established semiconductor manufacturing.”
“By building quantum processors using modified silicon transistors, we are able to develop systems that are compact, economical, and energy-efficient. This makes them well suited for deployment within existing data centre infrastructure at scale.”
“This approach will enable quantum computing and quantum-enhanced AI to be accessed as part of global compute environments, supporting applications across materials, pharmaceuticals, and complex optimisation.”
Since its founding, Diraq has focused on developing quantum computers using silicon, leveraging the same manufacturing technology that underpins the global semiconductor industry. This approach enables a scalable path to millions of qubits on a single chip and positions Diraq to deliver practical, utility-scale quantum systems.
