Australia invests in quantum technology with government funding and support, driven by AUKUS partnership.

Australia is investing in quantum technology, with the government providing funding and support to research institutions and private companies. The strategic importance of quantum technologies has grown due to Australia's AUKUS partnership with the US and the UK. To make informed decisions on investment and regulation, a structured accord between government, private industry, tech workers, and researchers is necessary to create consensus on the best way forward. Such an accord can help address conflicts between short-term interests and long-term national interests and ensure that Australia stays competitive in this rapidly evolving field.
