PsiQuantum targets first commercial quantum computer in under six years

PsiQuantum is aiming to deliver its first commercial quantum computing system in under six years, its CEO said as the startup announced a partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy to develop advanced fridges for its machines. Chief Executive Jeremy O'Brien said the timeline has been made possible by the company's breakthroughs, including its work with chip manufacturing partner GlobalFoundries. Estimates for the development of practical quantum computing by other experts in the field typically put it at a decade or even 20 or more years away.
