About
Telstra Group Limited, formerly Telstra Corporation, is an Australian telecommunications company founded in 1975 and privatized in 1997, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. It conducts quantum networking trials, running quantum key distribution (QKD) demonstrations and exploring quantum-safe telecommunications infrastructure. Telstra works with Australian quantum technology companies including Q-CTRL and Silicon Quantum Computing to advance practical quantum communications. In October 2025, Telstra and Silicon Quantum Computing announced results from a joint initiative that took quantum computing out of the lab and into the telecommunications industry, a milestone in Australia's move toward quantum-enabled digital infrastructure. The company also explores quantum encryption for secure communications and quantum networking for future telecommunications infrastructure. Telstra serves Australian telecommunications markets, enterprise customers, and government agencies that need quantum-safe communications. Through this work it contributes to the Australian quantum technology ecosystem, advancing quantum communications and quantum networking and helping position Australia as a quantum technology leader in the Asia-Pacific region.
