<p class=""><strong>PALO ALTO</strong> – PsiQuantum has introduced Omega, a quantum photonic chipset purpose-built for utility-scale quantum computing. Featured in a newly published paper in<em> </em><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08820-7"><em>Nature</em></a>, the chipset contains all the advanced components required to build million-qubit-scale quantum computers and deliver on the profoundly world-changing promise of this technology<em>. </em>Every photonic component is demonstrated with beyond-state-of-the-art performance. The paper shows high-fidelity qubit operations, and a simple, long-range chip-to-chip qubit interconnect – a key enabler to scale that has remained challenging for other technologies. The chips are made in a high-volume semiconductor fab, representing a new level of technical maturity and scale in a field that is often thought of as being confined to research labs. PsiQuantum will break ground this year on two datacenter-sized Quantum Compute Centers in Brisbane, Australia and Chicago.</p>

<p class="">Designed by PsiQuantum and manufactured at GlobalFoundries in New York, the new chipset integrates these advances into high-volume, industrially-proven processes – ready for large-scale systems integration. PsiQuantum’s approach is based on using single photons – particles of light – which are then manipulated using silicon photonic chip technology originally developed for telecom and datacenter networking applications. For quantum applications, the company had to improve performance well beyond the state-of-the-art, and introduced new materials into the fab, including a superconducting material used for highly efficient single-photon detection, and Barium Titanate (BTO), an advanced material for low-loss, high speed optical switching which is developed and produced by PsiQuantum in San Jose, California. The company also had to overcome challenges with background noise and low-temperature operation of the chip to demonstrate the circuit performance detailed in the paper – PsiQuantum’s latest measurements include 99.98% single-qubit state preparation and measurement fidelity, 99.5% two-photon quantum interference visibility, and 99.72% chip-to-chip quantum interconnect fidelity.</p>
<p class="">PsiQuantum’s founding team performed the world’s first lab demonstration of a two-qubit logic gate using single photons in Brisbane, Australia over 20 years ago, invented integrated quantum photonics and ‘fusion-based’ quantum computing, and <a href="https://www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2013/9720.html">made a prototype quantum processor available via the cloud</a> in 2013. Since then, the team has focused exclusively on the scaling, performance and manufacturing challenges associated with building million-qubit-scale systems essential for commercially valuable applications.</p>

<p class="">PsiQuantum has also introduced an entirely new cooling solution for quantum computers—eliminating the iconic “chandelier” dilution refrigerator in favor of a simpler, more powerful, and more manufacturable cuboid design, closer to a datacenter server rack. The <em>Nature</em> paper shares some details on this new approach to cooling, which is now deployed at PsiQuantum’s UK facility and was used for many of the performance results described.</p>
<p class="">Thanks to these advancements, PsiQuantum now has the technology to manufacture and cool vast numbers of quantum chips. While the company must continue to improve the performance, integration and yield of the devices, there is no “next step” in terms of manufacturing maturity — GlobalFoundries is a “tier-1” fab. PsiQuantum has characterized millions of devices on thousands of wafers and currently performs around half a million measurements each month.</p>

<p class="">PsiQuantum’s focus is now on wiring these chips together across racks, into increasingly large-scale multi-chip systems – work the company is now expanding through its partnership with the <a href="https://www.psiquantum.com/news-import/psiquantum-partners-with-us-department-of-energys-slac-national-accelerator-laboratory-to-access-state-of-the-art-high-powered-cryogenic-cooling-capabilities-for-large-scale-quantum-computing">U.S. Department of Energy at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory</a> in Menlo Park, California as well as a new manufacturing and testing facility in Silicon Valley. While chip-to-chip networking remains a hard research problem for many other approaches, photonic quantum computers have the intrinsic advantage that photonic qubits can be networked using standard telecom optical fiber without any conversion between modalities, and PsiQuantum has already demonstrated high-fidelity quantum interconnects over distances up to 250m.</p>
<p class=""> In 2024, PsiQuantum announced two landmark partnerships with the <a href="https://www.psiquantum.com/news-import/psiquantum-to-build-worlds-first-utility-scale-fault-tolerant-quantum-computer-in-australia" target="">Australian Federal and Queensland State governments</a>, as well as <a href="https://www.psiquantum.com/news-import/illinois-iqmp">the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago</a>, to build its first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane and Chicago. Recognizing quantum as a sovereign capability, these partnerships underscore the urgency and race towards building million-qubit systems. Later this year, PsiQuantum will break ground on Quantum Compute Centers at both sites, where the first utility-scale, million-qubit systems will be deployed.</p>
