About the job
At PsiQuantum, we are on a groundbreaking mission to create the first practical quantum computers, devices capable of unlocking the monumental advances that the field has long envisioned. Established in 2016, our exclusive commitment is to design and implement million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
Quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to tackle challenges that even the most powerful supercomputers or AI technologies cannot address. Their potential applications span across critical sectors such as energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials science, and many more.
Our innovative architecture is rooted in silicon photonics. By capitalizing on the sophisticated semiconductor manufacturing processes, collaborating with partners like GlobalFoundries, we are able to utilize the same high-volume techniques that produce billions of chips for telecommunications and consumer electronics. Photonics presents inherent advantages for scalability: photons are unaffected by heat, resistant to electromagnetic interference, and seamlessly integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic systems.
In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-supported initiatives aimed at constructing our inaugural utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These projects signify a growing acknowledgment that quantum computing is poised to be strategically and economically transformative, and that the time to scale is now.
Additionally, PsiQuantum is dedicated to developing the algorithms and software essential for maximizing the commercial viability of these systems. Our application, software, and industry teams collaborate directly with leading Fortune 500 companies, including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to prepare quantum solutions for tangible world applications.
Quantum computing signifies not a mere extension of classical computing, but a radical transformation, a pathway to overcoming obstacles that cannot be resolved through any other means. The possibilities are vast, and we possess a clear strategy to actualize them.
We invite you to join our journey.
