Job Description:
Quantum computing holds the promise of humanity's mastery over
the natural world, but only if we can build a real quantum
computer. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the first real,
useful quantum computers, capable of delivering the world-changing
applications that the technology has long promised. We know that
means we will need to build a system with roughly 1 million qubits
that supports fault tolerant error correction within a scalable
architecture, and a data center footprint.
By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can
provide exponential performance increases over today's most
powerful supercomputers, offering the potential for extraordinary
advances across a broad range of industries including climate,
energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture,
transportation, materials design, and many more.
PsiQuantum has determined the fastest path to delivering a useful
quantum computer, years earlier than the rest of the industry. Our
architecture is based on silicon photonics which gives us the
ability to produce our components at Tier-1 semiconductor fabs such
as GlobalFoundries where we leverage high-volume semiconductor
manufacturing processes, the same processes that are already
producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics
applications. We also benefit from the quantum mechanics reality
that photons don't feel heat or electromagnetic interference,
allowing us to take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems
and industry standard fiber connectivity.
In 2024, PsiQuantum announced two government-funded projects to
support the build-out of our first Quantum Data Centers and
utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia and Chicago,
Illinois. Both projects are backed by nations that understand
quantum computing's potential impact and the need to scale this
technology to unlock that potential. And we won't just be building
the hardware, but also the fault tolerant quantum applications that
will provide industry-transforming results.
Quantum computing is not just an evolution of the decades-old
advancement in compute power. It provides the key to mastering our
future, not merely discovering it. The potential is enormous, and
we have the plan to make it real. Come join us.
There's much more work to be done and we are looking for
exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!
Job Summary:
Quantum applications architects drive research and development of
quantum algorithms and lead partnered collaborations on the
application of quantum algorithms to real-world computational
problems. The applications team is fully focused on algorithms in
the fault tolerant regime and is very tightly integrated with
quantum architecture development. The scope of the quantum
applications team includes development of new quantum algorithms
and methods, scoping of use-cases, simulation and analysis of
resource requirements, optimization of compiling methods and
development of methods for universal fault tolerant logic.
This role is specifically focused on the compilation of quantum
algorithms, both in theory and in software. The architect will
translate abstract or high-level descriptions of quantum algorithms
into explicit constructions, contribute to the instantiation of
those constructions in code, analyze their performance using
resource estimation and simulation tools, and ultimately optimize
the efficiency with which we can run useful quantum algorithms on
fault-tolerant hardware.
