This agreement represents a major advance in the essential effort to determine how quantum computing can be applied to the complex challenges of national security and diverse aerospace technologies, and in the creation of utility scale quantum hardware with fault tolerant architectures capable of delivering reliable results for mission critical workloads. Today's most powerful super‑computers may struggle to model the ultra‑complex chemistry, fluid dynamics, and material behavior that drive modern aircraft, missiles and space systems. Those simulations demand more computing power than can be delivered efficiently with classical hardware alone. Quantum computing has the potential to overcome these bottlenecks, but a fault tolerant approach is needed for quantum computers to deliver on this promise. Developing and testing these capabilities today positions our customers to deploy proven, mission‑ready quantum tools as soon as the technology matures, providing a decisive edge in performance, development timelines and national‑security outcomes. Lockheed Martin will lead the development of defense‑specific quantum applications, shaping how future hardware can be employed in real‑world missions. These applications and their subsequent algorithms will be integrated onto PsiQuantum’s software platform Construct, a secure end‑to‑end suite for designing, analyzing, and optimizing quantum algorithms directly into our aerospace and defense workflows. This joint effort accelerates the development of quantum solutions for the first generations of fault‑tolerant quantum computers. This collaboration combining PsiQuantum’s leadership in quantum computing and Lockheed Martin’s innovative approach for quantum applications will accelerate the practical deployment of capabilities for the aerospace and defense industry. Together, this sets the stage for the next wave of transformative, field‑able solutions for the customer and advances Lockheed Martin’s 21st Century Security® vision.
