About the job

At PsiQuantum, we are on a groundbreaking mission to develop the first practical quantum computers that can realize the transformative potential of this field. Since our inception in 2016, we have dedicated ourselves to creating and implementing million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.

Quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to tackle challenges that remain insurmountable for even the most sophisticated supercomputers and AI systems. Their potential impact spans critical sectors such as energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and various foundational industries.

Our innovative architecture is built upon silicon photonics, enabling us to harness advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes in collaboration with partners like GlobalFoundries. This technology allows us to produce billions of chips efficiently, capitalizing on the unique advantages of photonics, including immunity to electromagnetic interference and seamless integration with existing cryogenic cooling and fiber-optic infrastructure.

In 2024, PsiQuantum embarked on government-backed projects to establish our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives underscore the growing acknowledgment of quantum computing's strategic and economic importance, signaling an opportune moment for scaling.

We also develop the essential algorithms and software to enhance the commercial viability of these systems. Our application, software, and industry teams collaborate closely with leading Fortune 500 companies, including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to deliver quantum solutions with real-world implications.

Quantum computing signifies a fundamental evolution beyond classical computing, paving the way to overcome challenges that traditional methods cannot address. The opportunities are vast, and we possess a clear trajectory to bring them to fruition.

Join our team and be part of this revolutionary journey.
