Insider Brief

PsiQuantum and Brookhaven National Laboratory have partnered to use PsiQuantum’s Construct software platform for research into fault-tolerant quantum algorithms and scientific applications.
Brookhaven researchers will use Construct to develop and study algorithms intended for the first generation of fault-tolerant quantum computers.
The collaboration supports the DOE’s Quantum Genesis initiative, which aims to develop and deploy a scientifically relevant fault-tolerant quantum computing system by 2028.

PRESS RELEASE — PsiQuantum and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory today announced a collaboration that will leverage PsiQuantum’s software platform, Construct, to support Brookhaven Lab scientists researching new algorithms and scientific applications for the first generation of fault-tolerant quantum computers.

“We are excited to partner with PsiQuantum to give our researchers access to these new tools,” said Brookhaven Lab’s Associate Laboratory Director for Discovery Technologies Gabriella Carini. “DOE’s new Quantum Genesis initiative requires innovative partnerships across our national labs, industry, academia, and government. This is a great example of one such collaboration.”

The Quantum Genesis initiative is focused on developing and deploying the world’s first fault-tolerant, scientifically relevant quantum computing capability for research and development by 2028. Quantum Genesis will serve as a foundational element of DOE’s broader artificial intelligence-focused Genesis Mission, which is designed to usher in a new era of computational power for the nation to accelerate scientific discovery and innovation.

“We are excited to partner with Brookhaven National Laboratory to use these tools in support of its research into fault-tolerant quantum algorithms and applications,” said PsiQuantum’s Vice President of Government Relations Heath Bumgardner. “Through this partnership, we’re demonstrating how effective public-private collaboration can help accelerate scientific discovery.”

PsiQuantum’s Construct software platform is the first comprehensive platform designed to help companies, researchers, and the public sector create fault-tolerant quantum algorithms, which are computational procedures designed to operate effectively on utility-scale quantum computers once these systems are built and deployed. Construct represents years of development by PsiQuantum’s quantum applications team, which created a suite of tools for new algorithm development to help solve some of the world’s leading quantum application challenges.

Fault-tolerant algorithms can help advance research in materials science, pharmaceutical research, and cryptography, among other areas. In May 2026, PsiQuantum announced that Construct is now available as a free and open-access platform, allowing researchers to design quantum circuits, write and simulate quantum algorithms, and optimize resources.

Keep track of everything going on in the Quantum Technology Market. In one place.

Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL)

GovernmentUnited States · 1001-5000 FTEs

Brookhaven National Laboratory is executing a cross-disciplinary strategy to harness quantum effects in physics for advanced computing, communications, and fundamental science. The laboratory is applying its expertise in quantum technologies to overcome the current limitations of scientific experiments and measurements, integrating new quantum capabilities and instruments into its existing facilities. Some of the projects include the Quantum Material Press, quantum telescopes and astrometry, quantum LIDAR, and a quantum-enhanced microscope. Brookhaven Lab and Stony Brook University are working together to bring the vision of a quantum internet into reality, enabling completely secure communications online. The team has built the Nation’s longest quantum network, which spans 98 miles and connects the institutions’ two campuses. Researchers at Brookhaven are also developing a quantum repeater prototype to ultimately connect the Lab to New York City. The Computational Science Initiative (CSI) at Brookhaven Lab has a Quantum Computing Group (QCG) that addresses Quantum Information Science research challenges. The Brookhaven National Laboratory Quantum Network Facility is an experimental facility open to the user community, and experimental opportunities are focused on the development of foundational quantum devices, including entanglement. Brookhaven National Laboratory leads the Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA), which is building the tools necessary to create scalable, distributed, and fault-tolerant quantum computer systems. The center is working toward quantum advantage in computations for high-energy and nuclear physics, chemistry, materials science, condensed matter physics, and other fields. The C2QA Quantum Computing Summer School is a virtual six-week tutorial program introducing college students to the Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage. .
