Jacobs and PsiQuantum Collaboration

In a groundbreaking move for the field of quantum computing, Jacobs (NYSE: J) has been chosen by PsiQuantum to spearhead the development of a utility-scale quantum computer located in Brisbane, Australia. This facility, sprawling across an impressive 540,000 square feet, will be strategically situated next to Brisbane Airport and will consist of a main office space, a large-scale cryoplant, and the Quantum Computing Center, where the innovative quantum system will be housed.

The venture marks a pivotal step toward realizing PsiQuantum's ambitious goal: to create a quantum computer capable of solving complex problems that are beyond the reach of traditional supercomputers or even sophisticated AI models. This initiative aligns with Australia's National Quantum Strategy, reinforcing a vision that supports a thriving quantum industry in the region. Construction of the facility is expected to commence in late 2025, with the objective of completion by the end of 2027.

Jacobs has an extensive history of collaborating with PsiQuantum and has been instrumental in the design and validation phases of this innovative project. As the project transitions into the owner's engineer phase, Jacobs will leverage its 30 years of experience in delivering high-tech, mission-critical projects across various sectors.
