About Us

Quantum Brilliance is the world pioneer in room-temperature quantum computing using synthetic diamonds. Our unique vision is to make quantum computing available as an everyday technology, from data centers to remote and mobile systems like autonomous robots and satellites. In contrast to quantum computers that fill a room, we are developing quantum accelerators with more computing power than a classical supercomputer but a form factor smaller than a lunchbox.

Founded in 2019 by experts in diamond quantum science from the Australian National University, we are a full-stack quantum computing start-up. An Australia-German company, our HQs are in Canberra and Stuttgart, with additional locations across Australia and southern Germany. We are working with global technology innovators to develop quantum computing applications, integrate quantum with high-performance computing, solve materials science problems and develop ultra-precise semiconductor manufacturing and control techniques. We are backed by eminent venture capital funds and major research and technology institutes.

The Mission

The successful candidate will bridge our R&D efforts between semiconductor device design, nanofabrication and quantum engineering. The candidate is an experienced quantum physicist with some years exposure to semiconductor industries or a semiconductor device physicist / engineer with a background in quantum physics. The mission is to lead the design efforts of our photoelectrical readout structures and devices of our next generations of quantum accelerators.

The candidate will be a key member of a world-class team and play a central role in supporting the development of new readout techniques for qubits in diamond-based quantum devices. This role offers the unique experience of engaging with top-notch research in an industry environment with a strong commercial purpose.
