As an entry-level quantum computing professional, you'll typically assist with developing and testing quantum algorithms, running simulations, and analyzing experimental data. You may also help document results, write code for quantum hardware or simulators, and collaborate with experienced researchers to solve technical challenges. Projects often involve teamwork with physicists, software engineers, and other specialists, offering a valuable opportunity to learn and grow your technical capabilities. Over time, you'll gain exposure to the latest advancements in quantum technology and may take on increasing responsibilities as you build expertise.
An Entry Level Quantum Computing job is a starting position for those looking to work in the field of quantum computing. These roles typically involve assisting in research, developing quantum algorithms, or working with quantum hardware and software. Candidates usually have a background in physics, computer science, or engineering, along with some knowledge of quantum mechanics and programming languages like Python. Responsibilities vary but may include running simulations, analyzing data, or supporting senior researchers. It’s a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience and grow in this emerging field.
To thrive as an Entry Level Quantum Computing professional, you need a solid background in mathematics, physics, and computer science, often evidenced by a bachelor's degree in a related field. Familiarity with programming languages such as Python or Qiskit, and experience with quantum computing platforms (e.g., IBM Quantum Experience) are highly beneficial. Strong problem-solving abilities, curiosity, and effective communication skills help individuals excel in collaborative, research-driven environments. These abilities enable professionals to understand complex quantum principles, contribute to innovative projects, and work efficiently within interdisciplinary teams.

PsiQuantum's mission is to build the first useful quantum computers-machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries.
Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry-including partners like GlobalFoundries-we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don't feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure.
In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically defining-and that now is the time to scale.
PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies-including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical-to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact.
Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shift-and a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we have a clear path to make it real.
Come join us.
