About
Eigensystems is a Sydney-based quantum education startup founded in 2023 by Associate Professors Simon Devitt and Chris Ferrie of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). The company develops tactile, narrative-driven quantum learning tools to widen access to quantum computing education. Its flagship product, Quokka, is a 30-qubit portable quantum computer emulator built to operate like a real quantum computer, making quantum computing accessible to educators and enthusiasts worldwide. Launched at Quantum Australia in February 2024, the Quokka raised US$100,000 through Kickstarter, the first crowdfunding campaign in quantum education. Eigensystems won the Australian Good Design Award in 2024 and has shipped hundreds of Quokka devices globally. Its education partners include Aalto University (Finland), Yoobee College (New Zealand), the University of Costa Rica, Keio University, and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology.
