About the job

At PsiQuantum, we are on a groundbreaking mission to develop the first practical quantum computers capable of delivering the transformative breakthroughs long anticipated in the quantum field. Since our inception in 2016, our unwavering focus has been on constructing and deploying million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.

Quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to solve complex problems that surpass the capabilities of even the most advanced supercomputers and AI systems. The impact of our technology is poised to revolutionize industries such as energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, and materials.

Our architecture is rooted in silicon photonics, exploiting advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes in collaboration with partners like GlobalFoundries. This approach allows us to utilize high-volume production techniques that have already yielded billions of chips for telecommunications and consumer electronics. Photonics presents inherent advantages for scalability, including immunity to heat and electromagnetic interference, as well as seamless integration with existing cryogenic cooling systems and standard fiber-optic infrastructure.

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-backed initiatives to support the establishment of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These projects signify a growing acknowledgment that quantum computing will shape the future strategically and economically, making it imperative to scale our efforts.

Moreover, PsiQuantum is dedicated to developing the algorithms and software essential for transforming these systems into commercially viable solutions. Our application, software, and industry teams collaborate closely with leading Fortune 500 companies, including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to ensure our quantum solutions have a real-world impact.

Quantum computing is not merely an extension of classical computing; it represents a fundamental paradigm shift offering pathways to tackle challenges that cannot be resolved through traditional means. The potential is immense, and we have a clear roadmap to make this vision a reality.

Join us on this exciting journey!
