- Psychantum to build public services scale systems in Brisbane and Chicago with new funds
- The company expands the production of photonic chips and develops barium titanate switches for the quantum scale
- Cooling and Network Systems designed for Data Center Style racks to admit millions of qubits
Psiquantum has announced that it has raised $ 1 billion of the E series E to promote its objective of building quantum tolerant computers to scale failures of one million qubits.
The company plans to create sites in Brisbane and Chicago for large -scale prototypes and start working on public services systems.
Founded in the idea that commercially valuable quantum computing requires errors correction, Psychantum has focused its focus on photonic qubits.
Overcome scale challenges
He believes that when combining quantum technology based on photons with the manufacture of semiconductor manufacturers, it can overcome the scale challenges that continue to delay progress in the field.
These include manufacturing capacity, cooling systems capable of handling thousands of chips and reliable networks between modules.
“Just building the real, the fault tolerant machines of one million removed, will unlock the promise of quantum computing,” said Jeremy O’Brien, co -founder and executive director.
“We define what is needed from the first day, this is a great engineering challenge, not a scientific experiment. First we address the most difficult, architectural and chips levels, and now we are mass manufacturing the best photonic photions of the class in a US semiconductor. UU.
“Almost nine years after we started, we have taken technology to a level of unprecedented maturity and performance,” said Pete Shadbolt, co -founder and scientific director.
“We have the chips, we have the switches, we have a scalable cooling technology, we can make networks, we have found the sites, we have the commercial reason and the government’s support: we are ready to enter and build public services scale systems.”
Psychantum has already built a high volume manufacturing process for its integrated photonic chips sets, internally designed and manufactured in Globalfoundries’ FAB 8 in New York.
He has also developed new electrooptic switches by including barium titanate in its chips production.
These switches are considered critical to climb optical quantum systems and could also be applied in AI supercomputers that require high -speed and low power networks.
At the same time, Psychantum is designing cooling and control systems that resemble data centers in place of traditional cryostats.
The company has already demonstrated networks among quantum cabinets using standard telecommunications fiber, which says it is a requirement for large -scale implementation.
