CATQ builds powerful error correction technology for optical quantum systems, tackling challenges at both the architecture and hardware levels. Our approach uses a clever way of encoding information in light to synthesise error-protected qubits with far fewer resources than existing methods, paving the way towards utility-scale optical quantum computing.

FlexeGRAPH is a cutting-edge materials science company revolutionizing thermal management with its next-generation coolants. By harnessing the extraordinary properties of graphene, the company develops proprietary nanofluids that dramatically outperform traditional water-glycol systems. Their core technology involves suspending specially engineered graphene in a stable fluid, creating a coolant with significantly higher thermal conductivity. This allows for superior heat transfer, enabling systems like data centers, electric vehicles (EVs), and high-performance computers to run cooler, more efficiently, and with greater reliability.

HYREA is a renewable energy company that develops safe, high-energy-density systems that generate hydrogen on-demand, offering an alternative to conventional fuel storage and transport. By using solid-state materials and compact reaction modules, our technology ensures hydrogen is produced when required, eliminating safety risks of hydrogen storage while maximising efficiency. The result is a reliable and scalable power source that can be rapidly deployed in the field or integrated into fixed installations. Designed for versatility, HYREA's systems can provide clean, resilient energy for Defence, industry, and remote operations.

Quantum Brilliance is an Australian-German quantum technology company that designs, develops, and manufactures room-temperature quantum accelerators using synthetic diamonds. The company's unique diamond-based technology allows for smaller, lower-power, and more rugged quantum computers that can operate anywhere, unlike traditional quantum computers that require large, energy-intensive infrastructure and near-zero temperatures. Quantum Brilliance aims to make quantum computing accessible for everyday and high-performance computing applications by providing a full-stack hardware and software solutions.

Thaum is a research and development company based in Canberra, Australia. We are an SME that grew from within the Research School of Physics at the Australian National University. In 2017, the OECD determined that Australia was one of the lowest-ranked OECD countries regarding industry and research engagement. Thaum was founded to fill the growing market segment to supply the services needed to bridge the critical gap between research, development and industry. As an interface, Thaum provides unique offerings to industry and research.
