Discover your future in quantum computing

The ARC Training Centre for Future Leaders in Quantum Computing (FLiQC) is developing future quantum experts through cutting-edge research and industry collaborations.

At FLiQC, we are building a bold vision: to position Australia as a global leader in quantum computing through a vibrant, inclusive, and innovative ecosystem. Our commitment is to train the next generation of researchers, policymakers, and innovators who will not only advance quantum science and technology but also thoughtfully shape its ethical, economic, and societal impact.

Supported by the Australian Research Council, five leading academic institutions, and thirteen industry and government partners, FLiQC unites world-class research and real-world expertise to accelerate innovation and shape the future of quantum computing.


 

Partnering with industry to deliver world-class training for the next generation of quantum computing experts.

 


 

Our research covers the entire quantum computing stack, including the development of pioneering quantum devices, the design of scalable architectures, and the creation of advanced algorithms that unlock quantum advantage. By integrating expertise across these layers, our researchers address fundamental challenges and drive breakthroughs to bring practical quantum computing closer to reality.

 

Innovative PhD Program in Quantum Computing

FLiQC is recruiting 17 PhD students to become leaders in quantum computing. Students will receive a generous stipend and complete a minimum one-year placement with leading quantum computing companies and research institutes.

Our PhD scholarships provide a unique chance to engage in cutting-edge quantum computing research alongside leading experts from academia, government, industry, and the startup sector. This collaborative environment fosters intellectually rigorous research projects that are closely aligned with real-world applications and the future needs of the quantum ecosystem.

We are excited to offer an outstanding student experience, including industry co-designed research projects, an extensive training and development program, and exclusive internship opportunities with our partners.
