Overview
- PsiQuantum said Thursday it added Intel chief Lip‑Bu Tan to its board, deepening ties with a longtime backer who first invested in the company in 2019.
- Lip‑Bu Tan said PsiQuantum stands out for targeting fault‑tolerant systems that can be produced at scale using standard chip‑factory tools.
- PsiQuantum is building quantum manufacturing sites in Brisbane and Chicago, with Brisbane expected to come online next year, according to Semafor’s reporting.
- Interim CEO Victor Peng said Tan’s experience in high‑performance computing and large‑scale production will help as the company moves from research toward deployment.
- The company noted recent leadership changes as context for the move, with Peng stepping in as interim chief and co‑founder Jeremy O’Brien shifting to executive chairman, while Semafor has reported past scrutiny of Tan’s investments in Chinese tech firms.
