DeteQt, a spinout from the University of Sydney Nano Institute, has a ‘diamond-on-silicon’ technology which it is using to make quantum magnetometers.
DeteQt’s CEO, University of Sydney Adjunct Professor Jim Rabeau, (pictured) will announce the investment at this week’s Quantum Australia Conference.
Rabeau was previously with Microsoft’s quantum computing program, Deloitte, CSIRO and was president of the Australian arm of Infleqtion.
DeteQt’s diamond-on-silicon quantum sensors integrate nitrogen-vacancy diamond technology with traditional silicon chip fabrication.
By leveraging industry-standard semiconductor manufacturing processes, DeteQt ensures its sensors are low-cost, scalable, and manufacturable at volume.
“By integrating quantum sensors with scalable semiconductor processes, we’re delivering the sensitivity of quantum with the manufacturability and low-cost of silicon,” says Rabeau.
