PsiQuantum

PsiQuantum is a Palo Alto, California photonic quantum computing company founded in 2016 by Jeremy O'Brien, Terry Rudolph, Pete Shadbolt, and Mark Thompson, building utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers based on single-photon qubits at telecom wavelength. Its Omega chipset — a silicon photonic system integrating on-chip single-photon sources, superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors, barium-titanate optical switches, and low-loss fiber couplers — is manufactured on 300mm wafers at GlobalFoundries' flagship fab in Malta, NY, leveraging mature semiconductor processes rather than exotic cryogenic fabrication. The company is constructing two utility- scale, million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum computing sites: one at Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia (in partnership with the Australian and Queensland governments) and one at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park in Chicago, Illinois (with additional R&D at PsiLabs in Daresbury, UK and assembly at PsiFactory in Milpitas, CA). PsiQuantum exposes a developer surface aimed at fault-tolerant quantum algorithm researchers: Construct, an enterprise platform for FTQC algorithm development, resource analysis, and training; Circuit Designer, a free web tool for prototyping and visualizing fault-tolerant quantum circuits; Circuit Hub, a shared library of `.circuit` files; and two open-source Python projects on GitHub — Bartiq, a symbolic quantum resource estimator that compiles subroutine-level costs to global T-gate, Toffoli, qubit, and circuit-volume estimates, and QREF, an open JSON-Schema-based format for representing quantum algorithms as hierarchical DAGs with a Pydantic validation library and a `qref-render` visualization tool. NVIDIA's CUDA-Q is integrated into Construct for accelerated simulation. PsiQuantum does not currently publish a commercial cloud-access REST API, OpenAPI specification, or a general-purpose quantum-execution SDK comparable to those of gate-model quantum cloud providers — its public developer artifacts are confined to FTQC resource-estimation tooling and algorithm-design surfaces — and there is no public pricing or self-serve tier for the underlying quantum hardware.

PsiQuantum is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Quantum Computing, Photonic Quantum Computing, Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing, FTQC, and Single Photon Qubits.

PsiQuantum’s developer surface includes GitHub presence, product news, YouTube channel, and 18 more developer resources.
