Last updated: March 10, 2026
PsiQuantum successfully overcomes key technical challenges, achieves fault-tolerant quantum advantage, and rapidly scales its Chicago and Brisbane facilities, leading to significant R&D contract wins and early commercial adoption. This validates its photonic approach, pushing valuation to $14B+ by 2028.
PsiQuantum makes steady but slower progress on its technical roadmap, securing additional government and enterprise R&D contracts. While demonstrating promising prototypes, commercialization remains nascent, and the company maintains its current valuation with modest growth to $8.05B by 2028, facing strong incumbent competition.
Significant technical hurdles, particularly photon loss rates and scaling issues, persist beyond aggressive timelines, and the Brisbane build faces further substantial delays. Incumbents like IBM and Google gain a stronger foothold, leading to a down round or a flat exit at $4.2B, severely impacting common stock value due to substantial liquidation preferences.
Preference Stack Risk
severeFunding Intensity
33%Investors hold $2.3 billion in liquidation preferences ahead of common stock. In an exit at or below the current $7.0 billion valuation, common stock holders would see significantly reduced returns, potentially nothing if the exit is below $2.3 billion.
Dilution Risk
highAs a pre-revenue, capital-intensive company in a deep-tech sector, PsiQuantum will likely require significant additional funding rounds to reach commercial viability, leading to further dilution for existing equity holders.
Secondary Liquidity
limitedSecondary market trading is available for accredited investors on platforms like UpMarket and Forge, but liquidity can be limited and prices may be at a discount to the last primary valuation.
