About the job

At PsiQuantum, we are on a mission to revolutionize technology through the development of the first practical quantum computers, machines that will unlock groundbreaking advancements in various fields. Our commitment, since our inception in 2016, has been to design and implement million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.

Quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to tackle challenges that are beyond the reach of even the most sophisticated supercomputers or AI systems. The potential applications are vast, impacting sectors such as energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials science, and other pivotal industries.

Our innovative architecture is centered on silicon photonics, allowing us to utilize advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes in collaboration with industry leaders like GlobalFoundries. This approach enables us to efficiently produce billions of chips while harnessing the inherent advantages of photonics, such as immunity to heat and electromagnetic interference, as well as seamless integration with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic systems.

In 2024, we proudly announced government-backed initiatives to establish our first utility-scale quantum computing facilities in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These projects underscore the growing acknowledgment of quantum computing's strategic and economic significance, highlighting the urgency to scale our efforts.

Moreover, PsiQuantum is dedicated to developing the software and algorithms necessary to maximize the commercial potential of these systems. Our application and software teams collaborate closely with leading Fortune 500 companies, including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to craft quantum solutions with real-world applicability.

Quantum computing signifies a paradigm shift, offering solutions to challenges that cannot be addressed through traditional computing methods. The possibilities are immense, and we possess a clear roadmap to turn this vision into reality.

Join us in shaping the future of technology.
