About the job

At PsiQuantum, we are on a groundbreaking mission to create the world's first practical quantum computers, machines that will unlock the immense potential of quantum technology. Established in 2016, our unwavering focus has been on the development and deployment of million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.

Quantum computers utilize the principles of quantum mechanics to tackle complex problems beyond the reach of today's most advanced supercomputers and AI systems. Their transformative effects will resonate across a multitude of sectors, including energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, and materials science.

Our innovative architecture is founded on silicon photonics. By harnessing the cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing industry, including collaborations with partners like GlobalFoundries, we leverage high-volume processes that have been proven effective in producing billions of chips for telecommunications and consumer electronics. The inherent advantages of photonics, such as immunity to heat and electromagnetic interference, make it an ideal solution for scaling quantum technologies.

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-backed initiatives aimed at constructing our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These projects highlight the growing recognition that quantum computing will play a pivotal role in shaping our future, both strategically and economically.

We are also at the forefront of developing the algorithms and software that will make our quantum systems commercially viable. Our application, software, and industry teams collaborate closely with Fortune 500 leaders, such as Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to ensure our quantum solutions deliver real-world impact.

Quantum computing signifies a revolutionary leap beyond classical computing, offering pathways to solve challenges that have previously been deemed insurmountable. The possibilities are vast, and we have a clear roadmap to bring them to fruition.

Join us on this exciting journey!
