PsiQuantum was founded on a simple premise: useful quantum computing requires a million-qubit, fault-tolerant system.
We chose photonics for its scaling advantages and spent nearly a decade building an ultra-low-loss silicon photonics platform to make that path possible.
That platform is foundational to our path to useful quantum computers. Now, beginning with Optical Circuit Switching, it can help power the next generation of AI infrastructure.

AI is pushing computing infrastructure to its limits. Our photonics can help.
Today, PsiQuantum is unveiling its industry-leading Optical Circuit Switch initiative with an 8×8 OCS demo built on the company’s low-loss silicon photonics platform—the same platform we’ve spent nearly a decade developing for quantum computing.

Tremendously saddened to learn of the untimely death of Mat Burrows, a friend, wise counsel and sage voice in Washington’s foreign policy community. Mat elevated strategic foresight into an art form. He will be sorely missed. @JMuellerKaler

Exciting things are happening in quantum computing, & they’re happening right here in California. Thank you @PsiQuantum for today’s tour, and for the look at what’s ahead. We need to keep investing in the people & ideas that will keep California at the forefront of this field.

Advancing American Quantum Computing
PsiQuantum has received a conditional commitment for a loan of up to $150 million from the U.S. Department of War’s Office of Strategic Capital, which would expand the company’s advanced manufacturing and prototyping capabilities in the United States.

🚨 We’re calling it: Summer is over in DC.
After 50 days of 90+ heat and one of our 10 hottest summers on record, the pattern has finally flipped.
70s today. 60s Tuesday and Wednesday. And no sustained heat in sight.
Welcome, fall. 🍂

like i said:
Summerlike weather not done just yet. 😳
A surge of heat and humidity Wednesday through Friday could even deliver another 90-degree day to parts of the area: capitalweather.com/late-seas…
Feeling pretty satisfied with my material possessions lately, which means it’s probably time for an innocent stroll past Crate&Barrel.

PsiQuantum has finalized a $100 million award from the U.S. Department of @CommerceGov to strengthen American leadership in quantum computing and semiconductor supply-chain security.
With this funding, combined with our supply chain anchored in the United States, PsiQuantum will accelerate the R&D, manufacturability, and performance of our state-of-the-art critical components—right here in America. Learn more: psiquantum.com/news-import/p…
Utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers will only deliver on their fullest potential if we are prepared to make the most of them once they're deployed.
That's why PsiQuantum's new partnership with another National Lab is so important.
Preparing together for the quantum future.
PsiQuantum and @BrookhavenLab are announcing a new collaboration that will leverage Construct—PsiQuantum's quantum algorithm development software—to support Brookhaven Lab scientists researching scientific applications for the first generation of fault-tolerant quantum computers.
