Chicago's quantum mega project lures Sydney startup Diraq
Silicon quantum startup Diraq is joining the Illinois government’s push to develop technologies in state-of-the-art facilities in Chicago, giving the Sydney company its 3rd US base and a presence alongside its biggest competitor. Diraq this week signed on as a future tenant for the under-construction Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP), which is set to be anchored by Australian government backed PsiQuantum when it opens in 2027.But the Sydney startup, which has landed almost $200 million in investment, will get access to the Chicago ecosystem much earlier.
