About the job

At PsiQuantum, we are on a mission to revolutionize computing by creating the world's first practical quantum computers. Founded in 2016, our primary objective is to build and implement million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems that will transform industries.

Quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to tackle challenges beyond the capabilities of today's most advanced supercomputers and AI systems. The implications of this technology will extend across various sectors, including energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, and materials.

Our innovative architecture is rooted in silicon photonics. By capitalizing on the advanced semiconductor manufacturing landscape, including strategic partnerships with industry leaders like GlobalFoundries, we employ high-volume processes that are already producing billions of chips for telecommunications and consumer electronics. Photonics provides unique advantages for scalability, as photons are unaffected by heat and electromagnetic interference, and seamlessly integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructures.

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-backed projects aimed at constructing our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives underscore the growing acknowledgment of quantum computing as a pivotal force for strategic and economic development, marking an opportune moment for expansion.

Additionally, PsiQuantum is dedicated to developing the algorithms and software essential for unlocking the commercial potential of these systems. Our applications and industry teams collaborate directly with Fortune 500 companies, including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to tailor quantum solutions for real-world applications.

Quantum computing signifies not merely an extension of classical computing but a paradigm shift that enables us to address complex challenges that are insurmountable by traditional means. The possibilities are vast, and we have a clear roadmap to realize them.

Join us in this exciting journey!
