Corporate Profile
Our Company
QuintessenceLabs Pty Ltd is a deep technology company incorporated in 2006 to commercialise breakthrough information security systems premised on the practical application of advanced quantum physics. The company comprises world-class scientific talent and has established an international network of commercialisation and technical talent.
QuintessenceLabs is the first commercial group in the world to exploit a new generation of quantum cryptographic technology which enables unbreakable, secure communication of sensitive information through the generation of a quantum cryptographic key.
We believe that the 21st century will see the leveraging of quantum technologies for novel applications that have major impacts on everyday life, much in the same way as electromagnetic phenomena were harnessed during the 20th century to significantly improve the quality of our lives.
Our Awards
The QuintessenceLabs teams' research in quantum cryptography at the Australian National University was awarded the 2006 Eureka Prize for Scientific Research (entry was titled "Inventing Australia's Own Unbreakable Code with Quantum Physics").
The team has an excellent track record of leading edge research and its members have won two Australian Institute of Physics Bragg Gold Medals for PhD research excellence.
The quantum key distribution scheme developed by QuintessenceLabs yields a highly efficient, robust and scalable solution, and this ground-breaking technology is gaining global attention.
