PsiQuantum is poised to construct one of the world's first 'useful' quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia.
The company's quantum computing proposal is based on photonic quantum computing, tracing back decades in origins to Australia.
The photonic qubit technology by PsiQuantum is showcased in a silicon photonic chipset named 'Omega' for scalable quantum computing.
The 'Omega' chipset represents a consistent and manufacturable platform for building a million-qubit quantum computer.
PsiQuantum aims to create commercially viable quantum computers for diverse applications such as drug design and material science.
The company plans to establish two large-scale quantum computer facilities in Brisbane and Chicago by 2027.
Photon-based qubits in the photonic quantum computer offer advantages in precision, connectivity, and ease of integration with regular computers.
Photonic quantum computing eliminates the need to convert qubit information into light for transmission, simplifying the process.
Unlike other qubit technologies, photonic quantum computing does not require extreme cooling, maintaining stability at about 2-3 degrees above absolute zero.
PsiQuantum's approach aims to rapidly advance quantum computing to build the world's first practical quantum computer for real-world applications.
