About the job

Join PsiQuantum, where our mission is to revolutionize technology by creating the first practical quantum computers. These machines aim to achieve the breakthroughs that have long been anticipated in the field of quantum computing. Since our inception in 2016, we have been dedicated to developing and deploying million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.

Our quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to tackle problems that are beyond the capabilities of even the most sophisticated supercomputers and AI systems. The applications of our technology are vast, impacting industries such as energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, and materials.

Utilizing silicon photonics as our architectural foundation, we harness the advanced semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem, partnering with industry leaders like GlobalFoundries. This approach allows us to utilize high-volume processes already in place for producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. The advantages of using photonics are significant: photons are unaffected by heat, immune to electromagnetic interference, and seamlessly integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructures.

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-backed initiatives to establish our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. This represents a pivotal moment acknowledging the strategic and economic significance of quantum computing, making it essential to scale our efforts now.

Additionally, PsiQuantum is committed to developing the algorithms and software necessary to unlock the commercial potential of our systems. Our application, software, and industry teams collaborate closely with leading Fortune 500 companies such as Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical to create quantum solutions that deliver real-world results.

Quantum computing is a transformative leap, representing not just an evolution of classical computing but a new paradigm that enables us to tackle challenges previously thought insurmountable. The potential is immense, and we have a clear vision to make this a reality.

We invite you to be part of this exciting journey.
