PsiQuantum is set to open a ‘Test & Characterization’ lab at Griffith University’s Nathan Campus in Brisbane, Australia, expected to be operational by early 2025. Announced by co-founder Pete Shadbolt, the lab will focus on critical testing for high-performance subsystems as PsiQuantum progresses toward building its first utility-scale quantum computer in Brisbane.

The lab will handle both cryogenic and room-temperature subsystems and integrate its findings into production pathways. It will also offer training and collaboration opportunities for engineers and physicists, supporting the company’s global facilities.

This expansion follows PsiQuantum’s partnerships with Queensland universities, supporting quantum education and research. Griffith University views the partnership as an opportunity for students to engage in cutting-edge STEM careers. The lab’s activities will eventually merge with the larger Brisbane quantum computing facility as PsiQuantum scales its operations.
