Shark Tank's Robert Herjavec joins Melbourne data lakehouse scaleup Zetaris and also invests in it
US Shark Tank investor and cybersecurity startup founder Robert Herjavec is joining Melbourne scaleup Zetaris as executive director of global strategy. He was so impressed, he’s also invested in the company, although that figure was not disclosed. Herjavec believes Zetaris has unicorn (worth more than $1bn) potential. Zetaris was founded in 2013 by Vinay Samuel and Michael Cimino as a data management platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help businesses make decisions.
Lobby group The Tech Council of Australia rearranges its chairs, with Atlassian's Scott Farquhar replacing Robyn Denholm
Robyn Denholm, chair of beleaguered car manufacturer Tesla, is stepping down as inaugural chair of industry lobby group The Tech Council of Australia (TCA), after 3.5 years in the role. She will be replaced by Atlassian cofounder Scott Farquhar, who stepped away from his day job as co-CEO last year, and has also been on the TCA board since its inception.
One year of gaming reviews: what I've learnt about Australia's hunger for good video games journalism and Substack
I’ve always loved video games and the idea of writing about them had been a passion. Back when I worked as a business tech reporter, I would pitch in stories about gaming companies amid my usual weekly commentary. While arguable more people game now than back then, the sector was a lot more vibrant in terms of the number of people covering it. I think I can now count most employed games journalists in Australia on two hands.
Burnout isn’t the enemy - it’s the message, but are you ready to listen?
Everywhere I turn I hear another story about how burnt out everyone currently is. How everyone is overworked. That they’re at their breaking point. In fact, Deloitte did a survey on professionals in the workplace, stating “77% of respondents say they have experienced employee burnout at their current job”.
The quantum computing startup already making millions of light-powered chips
American quantum computing startup PsiQuantum announced that it has cracked a significant puzzle on the road to making the technology useful: manufacturing quantum chips in useful quantities. PsiQuantum burst out of “stealth mode” in 2021 with a blockbuster funding announcement. It followed up with two more last year. The company uses so-called “photonic” quantum computing, which has long been dismissed as impractical.
Private equity firm Quadrant takes a $50-100 million slice of startup veteran LegalVision
Sydney investment firm Quadrant Private Equity has made another foray into startups, with plans to take an equity stake in Legal Vision. The size of the investment was not disclosed, but it’s the first from the Sydney PE firm’s latest and 10th fund, the $660m Quadrant Growth Fund 3, which looks to invest between $50 million to $100 million in a business.
Quantum Computing Startup Says It’s Already Making Millions of Light-Powered Chips
American quantum computing startup PsiQuantum announced last week that it has cracked a significant puzzle on the road to making the technology useful: manufacturing quantum chips in large quantities. PsiQuantum burst out of “stealth mode” in 2021 with a blockbuster funding announcement. It followed up with two more last year. The company uses so-called “photonic” quantum computing, which has long been dismissed as impractical.
What to know about PsiQuantum’s Omega chipset
American quantum computing company PsiQuantum says it has cracked a significant puzzle on the road to making the technology useful: manufacturing quantum chips in useful quantities. PsiQuantum burst out of “stealth mode” in 2021 with a blockbuster funding announcement. It followed up with the announcement of nearly $1 billion from Australia’s federal and Queensland governments last year, as the company attempts to build the world’s first utility-scale quantum computer in Brisbane.

Australia just made a billion-dollar bet on building the world’s first "useful" quantum computer in Brisbane. Will it pay off?
The Australian government has announced a pledge of approximately $940 million to PsiQuantum, a quantum computing start-up company based in Silicon Valley. This article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license. Half of the funding will come from the Queensland government, and in exchange, PsiQuantum will locate its planned quantum computer in Brisbane, with a regional headquarters at Brisbane Airport.
Australia just invested in a near-billion-dollar quantum computer — what makes it so special, and is it worth the cost?
Half of the funding will come from the Queensland government, and in exchange, PsiQuantum will locate its planned quantum computer in Brisbane, with a regional headquarters at Brisbane Airport. PsiQuantum claims it will build the world’s first “useful” quantum computer. Such a device could be enormously helpful for applications like cracking codes, discovering new materials and drugs, modelling climate and weather, and solving other tough computational problems.

Insider: Was können Quantencomputer im Jahr 2023 wirklich?
Im Juni ließ ein leitender Angestellter von IBM verlauten, dass Quantencomputer in die Phase des „Nutzens“ eingetreten sind und experimentelle Hightech-Geräte nützlich werden. Im September ging die australische Chefwissenschaftlerin Cathy Foley sogar so weit, „den Beginn des Quantenzeitalters“ auszurufen.
Quantum computers in 2023: how they work, what they do, and where they’re heading | Techblog
In June, an IBM computing executive claimed quantum computers were entering the “utility” phase, in which high-tech experimental devices become useful. In September, Australia’s Chief Scientist Cathy Foley went so far as to declare “the dawn of the quantum era”. This week, Australian physicist Michelle Simmons won the nation’s top science award for her work on developing silicon-based quantum computers. Obviously, quantum computers are having a moment.

2023년의 양자 컴퓨터의 현재와 미래 과제
지난 6월, IBM 컴퓨터 임원은 양자 컴퓨터가 첨단 실험 장치가 유용해지는 "유용성" 단계에 진입하고 있다고 주장했습니다. 지난 9월 호주의 수석 과학자 캐시 폴리(Cathy Foley)는 “ 양자 시대의 시작 ” 을 선언하기도 했습니다 . 이번 주 호주의 물리학자 미셸 시몬스( Michelle Simmons )는 실리콘 기반 양자 컴퓨터 개발에 대한 연구로 미국 최고의 과학상을 수상했습니다 . 분명히 양자 컴퓨터는 순간을 보내고 있습니다. 하지만 조금 뒤로 물러서서 그것들은 정확히 무엇 입니까 ? 양자 컴퓨터란 무엇입니까? 컴퓨터에 대해 생각하는 한 가지 방법은 컴퓨터가 작업하는 숫자의 종류에 관한 것입니다. 우리가 매일 사용하는 디지털 컴퓨터는 정수(또는 정수 )에 의존하여 정보를 복잡한 규칙에 따라 재배열되는 0과 1의 문자열로 나타냅니다.

Characterization and control of open quantum systems beyond quantum noise spectroscopy
Abstract The ability to use quantum technology to achieve useful tasks, be they scientific or industry related, boils down to precise quantum control. In general it is difficult to assess a proposed solution due to the difficulties in characterizing the quantum system or device. These arise because of the impossibility to characterize certain components in situ, and are exacerbated by noise induced by the environment and active controls.
