Jacobs to Support the Delivery of PsiQuantum's New Quantum Computing Facility

Project positions Illinois as a leading hub for quantum technology

Award builds on Jacobs' global support for quantum computing leader

DALLAS, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) was selected by PsiQuantum, a global leader in quantum computing, as the Owner's Representative for its new quantum computing facility at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park in Chicago, delivering end-to-end support across design and construction.

The Chicago project broke ground in September, and during the initial phase of site development, PsiQuantum will build an intermediate-scale test system, which will further validate quantum architecture and performance. Following this milestone, the company will initiate additional construction phases, ultimately working toward the deployment of the first utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer in the United States.

Jacobs President of Global Operations Patrick Hill said: "At Jacobs, we work with clients at the leading edge of technology. By continuing our collaboration with PsiQuantum on projects in the U.S. and Australia, we are powering the next era of quantum computing infrastructure, and our global multidisciplinary approach and mission-critical design experience delivers solutions that are shaping the future of technology."

PsiQuantum Chief Operations Officer Fariba Danesh said: "Building and deploying the world's first utility-scale quantum computers requires cutting-edge talent and partnerships. That's why PsiQuantum is proud to draw from the support, experience, and expertise of the Jacobs team in both the United States and Australia."

Jacobs will provide project management, architectural and engineering consultancy services and oversee the collaboration among architects, engineers, contractors, and stakeholders, while proactively managing budgets, schedules, and quality to drive project excellence.

This project expands Jacobs global collaboration with PsiQuantum. Jacobs is currently delivering master planning, schematic design, and owner's engineer services for what is poised to be one of the world's first utility-scale, fault tolerant quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia. 

Additionally, Jacobs is working with PsiQuantum in the development of test and assembly facilities in California, incorporating R&D efforts and other learnings into design work for the Brisbane and Chicago sites.

Quantum computers are regarded as the next significant advancement in computing, with the potential to solve problems that cannot be solved with conventional computers in vital industries like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, energy, national defense and agriculture.
