About the job

At PsiQuantum, our mission is to revolutionize the world of computing by creating the first practical quantum computers, systems that can achieve breakthroughs previously thought impossible. Founded in 2016, we are dedicated to 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 advanced supercomputers and AI technologies cannot address. The implications of this technology will be transformative across various industries, including energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, and materials science.

Our innovative architecture is rooted in silicon photonics, harnessing the power of advanced semiconductor manufacturing to create scalable solutions. By collaborating with industry leaders like GlobalFoundries, we utilize high-volume production processes that are already integral to telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics allows us to overcome inherent limitations, photons are unaffected by heat, immune to electromagnetic interference, and seamlessly integrate into existing cryogenic cooling and fiber-optic infrastructures.

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced significant government-funded initiatives aimed at constructing our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These projects signify a growing acknowledgment of the strategic and economic importance of quantum computing, underscoring the urgency to scale our efforts.

We also focus on crafting the software and algorithms essential for realizing the commercial potential of our systems. Our applications and industry teams collaborate with prestigious Fortune 500 companies, such as Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to facilitate real-world quantum solutions.

Quantum computing signifies more than just an extension of classical computing; it represents a fundamental paradigm shift, paving the way for solutions to problems that are otherwise insurmountable. The possibilities are vast, and we possess a clear strategy to make quantum computing a reality.

Join us on this groundbreaking journey.
