Overview
A photonic quantum computing company pursuing fault-tolerant, utility-scale quantum computers, which raised a $1 billion Series E round in September 2025 at a $7 billion valuation with backing from BlackRock, Temasek, Baillie Gifford, and NVIDIA's venture arm. PsiQuantum is building two 'data center-sized' Quantum Compute Centers, one near Brisbane, Australia (backed by AU$940 million/US$620 million in Australian federal and Queensland state funding) and one at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park in Chicago.
Strategic Connections
- NVIDIA: NVIDIA's venture arm participated in PsiQuantum's $1 billion Series E round in September 2025.
- Quantum Computing: PsiQuantum develops fault-tolerant, utility-scale photonic quantum computers and is building government-backed 'data center-sized' Quantum Compute Centers in Australia and the US.
- Xanadu Quantum Technologies: PsiQuantum competes with Xanadu in photonic quantum computing, both pursuing light-based qubit approaches toward fault-tolerant, utility-scale systems.
Strategic Risks
- Fault-tolerant, utility-scale photonic quantum computing remains unproven at the scale PsiQuantum is targeting
- Government-backed data center projects carry construction and political/funding continuity risk
- New CEO transition (July 2026) introduces leadership execution risk during a critical construction phase
Future Outlook
- Brisbane and Chicago Quantum Compute Centers positioned as flagship proof points for utility-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing
- Continued backing from strategic investors including NVIDIA's venture arm signals deepening ties to the AI infrastructure ecosystem
- New CEO Victor Peng's semiconductor manufacturing background expected to inform the Compute Center build-out execution
