PsiQuantum says its mission is to build and deploy useful, fault-tolerant quantum computers. Its approach uses photonic qubits and existing semiconductor manufacturing processes, with a silicon photonics platform and a modular architecture aimed at utility-scale quantum computing. The company says it designs its own chips and manufactures its Omega chipset at GlobalFoundries’ Fab 8 in Malta, New York.
The company lists its headquarters in Palo Alto, California, and describes additional facilities in California, the UK, New York, Illinois, and Queensland. PsiQuantum says its first sites are planned in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois, USA. It also offers PsiQuantum Construct, a software platform for creating fault-tolerant quantum algorithms, alongside its hardware development efforts.
