PsiQuantum has a plan to make a massive quantum computer out of light

Short summary

PsiQuantum is building a large-scale quantum computer using photonic technology, housed in a facility resembling a data center with liquid helium cooling. The machine will consist of roughly 100 stainless-steel cabinets kept near absolute zero. The approach uses light-based qubits rather than superconducting circuits, aiming for fault-tolerant quantum computation at scale.
