About

Emergence Quantum is an Australian quantum technology company that launched in May 2025 as a spinoff from the University of Sydney. It was co-founded by Professor David Reilly and Dr. Thomas Ohki, both formerly of Microsoft's quantum computing division. The company develops qubit-agnostic quantum control systems, cryogenic electronics, and quantum sensing technologies, specializing in the connective tissue between qubits and software stacks, including the cryogenic control electronics needed to scale quantum computers. The founding team of roughly 20 members came from Microsoft's Quantum research program and contributed to the development of Microsoft's Majorana 1 quantum chip. In July 2025, Emergence Quantum established a strategic collaboration with IonQ to advance quantum computing hardware. The company's first commercial products became available in late 2025, focused on helping quantum computing systems scale more effectively through advanced control and sensing technologies.
