An Australian quantum technology start-up will work with the United States' biggest mapping agency to improve their ability to monitor hazards and detect future mineral wealth.
Announcing the deal on Wednesday, Australian time, the new partners said there was "exceptional economic and strategic value" in using deep tech to see through the earth amid a changing global climate.
The deal between Q-CTRL and the US Geological Survey (USGS) aims to unlock earlier detection of hazards such as earthquakes, new ways to monitor water assets and polar ice sheets, and cut the cost of discovering energy and mineral resources.
