About the job
At PsiQuantum, we are on a groundbreaking mission to develop the first practical quantum computers capable of unlocking unprecedented advancements across various fields. Established in 2016, our unwavering commitment lies in constructing and deploying million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
Our quantum computers utilize the principles of quantum mechanics to tackle challenges that are beyond the reach of even the most powerful supercomputers and AI systems. The transformative potential of quantum computing spans crucial sectors such as energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, and materials.
Our innovative architecture is rooted in silicon photonics, leveraging leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing processes in collaboration with industry partners like GlobalFoundries. This approach allows us to harness high-volume production techniques that already yield billions of chips for telecommunications and consumer electronics. Photonics brings inherent advantages for scalability, as photons are unaffected by heat, immune to electromagnetic interference, and compatible with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic systems.
In 2024, PsiQuantum announced significant government-funded initiatives aimed at establishing our inaugural utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These projects underscore the increasing acknowledgment of quantum computing's strategic and economic importance, highlighting the urgency to scale our efforts.
We are also dedicated to the development of algorithms and software essential for maximizing the commercial viability of these systems. Our application, software, and industry teams collaborate directly with leading Fortune 500 companies, including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical, to implement quantum solutions that have real-world ramifications.
Quantum computing signifies a fundamental evolution beyond classical computing, providing pathways to address problems that cannot be solved through any other means. The potential is vast, and we possess a clear roadmap to actualizing this vision.
Join us in this exciting journey.
