About the job
At PsiQuantum, we are on a mission to revolutionize computing by creating the first practical quantum computers—machines designed to achieve the transformative breakthroughs that the field has long promised. Founded in 2016, our focus remains steadfast on the development and deployment of million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
Quantum computers leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to tackle challenges that even the most sophisticated supercomputers or AI technologies cannot solve. Their potential impact is extensive, affecting industries such as energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, and materials.
Our innovative architecture is built upon silicon photonics. By utilizing advanced semiconductor manufacturing techniques in collaboration with partners like GlobalFoundries, we harness high-volume processes that produce billions of chips for telecommunications and consumer electronics. The advantages of photonics are clear: photons are unaffected by heat, immune to electromagnetic interference, and seamlessly integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic systems.
In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-backed projects aimed at constructing our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These endeavors signify a growing acknowledgment of quantum computing as a pivotal strategic and economic force, emphasizing the need for rapid scaling.
Our team also pioneers the development of algorithms and software essential for realizing the commercial potential of these systems. Collaborating closely with leading Fortune 500 companies—including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical—we are preparing quantum solutions for tangible real-world applications.
Quantum computing is not merely an extension of classical computing; it represents a fundamental paradigm shift, paving the way to overcome challenges that can only be addressed through this innovative approach. The possibilities are vast, and we have a clear trajectory to bring them to fruition.
Join us in this transformative journey.
