About the job
At PsiQuantum, our mission is to pioneer the development of the first practical quantum computers, machines designed to realize the transformative potential that the field has long promised. Since our inception in 2016, we have dedicated ourselves to creating and deploying million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
Quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to tackle problems beyond the reach of even the most sophisticated supercomputers or AI systems. Their influence will extend across vital sectors including energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, and materials.
Our architectural framework is grounded in silicon photonics. By utilizing advanced semiconductor manufacturing techniques, partnering with industry leaders like GlobalFoundries, we employ the same high-volume processes that produce billions of chips for telecommunications and consumer electronics. Photonics inherently supports scalability: photons are unaffected by heat, immune to electromagnetic interference, and compatible with existing cryogenic cooling and fiber-optic infrastructure.
In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-supported projects aimed at establishing our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives highlight the increasing acknowledgment that quantum computing will be strategically and economically pivotal, making it imperative to scale up now.
Additionally, PsiQuantum is committed to developing the algorithms and software essential for maximizing the commercial potential of our systems. Our application, software, and industry teams collaborate closely with premier Fortune 500 companies, including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to implement quantum solutions that yield real-world benefits.
Quantum computing signifies not just an extension of classical computing, but a fundamental transformation, paving the way to address challenges that are insurmountable through traditional means. The possibilities are vast, and we possess a clear roadmap to bring them to fruition.
Join us on this groundbreaking journey.
