PsiQuantum’s mission is to build and deploy useful, fault tolerant quantum computers
After more than a decade of academic research, PsiQuantum was founded on the premise that photonic qubits, together with leverage of mature semiconductor manufacturing processes, could provide a fast path to a commercially useful, million-qubit quantum computer.
Now, PsiQuantum builds thousands of wafers of quantum chips in a tier-1 foundry, operates cryogenic cabinets designed to support hundreds of chips, and is optimizing fault-tolerant algorithms that will solve valuable problems using our first-generation computers.
