AMD and PsiQuantum Expand Quantum Computing Partnership

AMD and PsiQuantum have expanded their partnership to co-design computing infrastructure for utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum systems, with AMD planning an undisclosed equity investment in the quantum-computing company. The companies announced the agreement on November 12, 2026, and said they would combine AMD’s conventional computing hardware and software with PsiQuantum’s photonics platform.

The collaboration adds AMD Instinct GPUs, EPYC CPUs and its ROCm software stack to PsiQuantum’s existing use of AMD Versal adaptive computing hardware. The companies said they will develop systems that coordinate classical and quantum computing, including infrastructure intended to process information rapidly for error correction in future quantum machines.

PsiQuantum said its machine-learning decoder, PRISM, has been adapted to run with low latency on programmable hardware for real-time error correction. The company and AMD also reported initial simulations of covalent inhibitors using PsiQuantum’s computational-chemistry methods on AMD GPUs. Covalent inhibitors are a class of molecules relevant to oncology drug research. The companies described pharmaceutical research and drug...
