AMD and PsiQuantum have expanded their strategic partnership to develop infrastructure for utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers. The collaboration, announced on November 12, 2026, involves co-designing hardware and software systems to integrate classical and quantum computing architectures.
AMD will provide its CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and the ROCm software platform to support PsiQuantum’s photonic quantum technology. The companies aim to create hybrid systems capable of handling complex tasks, with initial commercial applications focused on pharmaceutical research and drug discovery.
The partnership also includes plans for an equity investment by AMD in PsiQuantum, though the specific amount remains undisclosed. Additionally, the companies are in discussions regarding a potential presence at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park in Chicago.
PsiQuantum CEO Victor Peng identified three primary goals for the collaboration: advancing infrastructure for large-scale quantum systems, developing silicon photonics networking, and establishing foundations for future AI applications.
