Quantum Applications Internship at PsiQuantum (Brisbane or Remote in Australia)

Job Description

PsiQuantum is offering a quantum applications internship with its Australian applications team. Interns can work from PsiQuantum’s Brisbane office or remotely from anywhere in Australia, and work closely with the rest of the applications team on algorithms for fault-tolerant quantum computers.

At a glance

• Role: Intern, Quantum Applications
• Where: Brisbane office, or remote anywhere in Australia
• Team: Australian quantum applications team
• Focus: fault-tolerant algorithms and resource estimation
• Apply: open until filled (re-checked 11 October 2026)

About the quantum applications internship

• Develop quantum algorithms for impactful problems
• Optimise common subroutines in fault-tolerant quantum algorithms
• Compile algorithms to logical gate sets
• Include optimisations that account for the hardware architecture
• Estimate the resources algorithms need to run

PsiQuantum builds its quantum computers from photons on silicon chips. Photonic qubits are naturally suited to networking and to fusion-based quantum computing, but they need error-correction schemes and algorithms designed around photon loss and the architecture’s building blocks, which is the kind of problem these roles work on.

Who this internship suits

This internship suits master’s and PhD students in quantum information, physics, computer science or mathematics who want to see how algorithm research is done inside a company that is building fault-tolerant hardware. Because the Australian team accepts remote interns from anywhere in the country, students outside Queensland can apply too.

What PsiQuantum is looking for

• A background in quantum computing or quantum information at postgraduate level, or close to it
• Programming ability, for example in Python
• Curiosity and the ability to work closely with a research team

Pay and location

The internship is with PsiQuantum’s Australian quantum applications team and can be done remotely within Australia or from the Brisbane office. The posting does not state pay.
