PsiQuantum to Open Quantum Computing Lab at Griffith University

PsiQuantum, a developer of quantum computers, has partnered with Griffith University to open a Test & Characterization lab at the university’s campus in Nathan, Australia. This expansion builds on a recent memorandum of understanding signed by PsiQuantum, Griffith, and four other Queensland, Australia, universities on various educational programs and research projects relating to quantum computing.

The Test & Characterization lab will perform characterization and calibration methods for subsystems essential for PsiQuantum’s first utility-scale system in Brisbane. The lab, operated exclusively by PsiQuantum, will focus on both cryogenic and room-temperature photonic quantum computing subsystems and integrate the operation of combined subsystems at high performance. Results will be incorporated into existing production pathways and the lab will initially collaborate with other PsiQuantum facilities worldwide, evolving as the quantum computer site becomes fully operational.

The lab space is currently under renovation and is slated for operation in early 2025.
