About the job
At PsiQuantum, we are on a mission to revolutionize the future by developing the first practical quantum computers, machines that will achieve the long-anticipated breakthroughs in quantum technology. Since our inception in 2016, our unwavering focus has been on creating and deploying million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
Quantum computers utilize the principles of quantum mechanics to tackle complex problems that surpass the capabilities of even the most advanced supercomputers and AI systems. The ramifications of quantum computing extend across various critical industries, including energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, and materials science.
Our architectural design is grounded in silicon photonics. By capitalizing on the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry, including partnerships with GlobalFoundries, we employ high-volume processes that reliably produce billions of chips for telecommunications and consumer electronics. Photonics provides inherent advantages for scalability: photons remain unaffected by heat, resist electromagnetic interference, and seamlessly integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure.
In 2024, PsiQuantum made headlines by announcing government-funded projects aimed at constructing our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives signify a growing acknowledgment that quantum computing will be a pivotal force in shaping our economy and strategic landscape, emphasizing the urgent need for scaling.
Additionally, PsiQuantum is dedicated to developing the algorithms and software necessary to ensure these systems generate commercial value. Our applications, software, and industry teams collaborate closely with prestigious Fortune 500 companies, including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to tailor quantum solutions for real-world applications.
Quantum computing signifies more than just an extension of classical computing; it embodies a fundamental paradigm shift, paving the way to address challenges that cannot be resolved through any other means. The potential is vast, and we possess a clear roadmap to actualize it.
