About the job

At PsiQuantum, our mission is to revolutionize computing by creating the first practical quantum computers. With our foundation laid in 2016, we are dedicated to developing and deploying million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems that promise to transform our understanding of computation.

Quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to tackle problems that are beyond the capability of even the most powerful supercomputers or AI systems. The applications of this technology are vast, impacting industries such as energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, and materials science.

Our innovative architecture is grounded in silicon photonics, utilizing advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes in collaboration with partners like GlobalFoundries. This approach allows us to produce high-volume, efficient systems that harness the unique properties of photons, which are not affected by heat and are immune to electromagnetic interference.

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-supported initiatives to establish our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These projects signify a pivotal moment in recognizing the strategic and economic importance of quantum computing and our commitment to scaling our efforts.

Beyond hardware, we also develop the essential algorithms and software that will bring our systems to market. Collaborating with industry leaders like Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, we are translating quantum solutions into tangible benefits for the real world.

Quantum computing is not merely an enhancement of classical computing; it represents a paradigm shift that enables us to tackle challenges previously deemed unsolvable. The potential is immense, and we have a clear strategy to manifest this vision.

Join us on this groundbreaking journey.
