CTCP invites solutions to market-led challenges of national significance using quantum technologies.
Round 1 of the CTCP will fund feasibility projects for 14 consortia, with grants totalling $5.2 million. They will tackle challenges as diverse as:
- making a high-speed optical scanner for diabetes assessment
- using quantum computing for remote community energy systems with renewable energy sources
- developing resilient communications and navigation of autonomous systems without GPS
- creating a new quantum optical sensor which will enable selective mining of rare-earth elements in clay deposits
- developing diagnostic technology to detect the 'Invisible Melanoma'.
The $36 million Critical Technologies Challenge Program is part of the Australian Government's National Quantum Strategy. We expect to open round 2 in late 2024.
