Diraq

Dzurak holds a BS from the University of Sydney and a PhD in experimental physics from the University of Cambridge (1993), where he studied semiconductor nanostructures under Sir Michael Pepper. He is a Scientia Professor of Quantum Engineering at UNSW Sydney and served as founding director of ANFF-NSW from 2007 to 2022. With colleague Andrea Morello, he co-demonstrated the world's first silicon qubits in 2012, and subsequently developed a CMOS-compatible qubit technology based on reconfigured transistors. He founded Diraq in 2022 to commercialize this work; the company's silicon-spin approach targets scalable manufacturing in existing semiconductor fabs.
