Lockheed Martin and PsiQuantum entered into a memorandum of understanding to accelerate the development of quantum computing applications for aerospace and defense. The agreement builds on years of collaboration between the two companies.
PsiQuantum is building the world’s first fault‑tolerant, photonic quantum computers and launched its Construct software suite on September 17, 2025. The suite provides a secure, end‑to‑end platform for designing, analyzing, and optimizing quantum algorithms for fault‑tolerant systems.
Under the MOU, the partners will explore quantum algorithms that support real‑world defense challenges, including fluid dynamics, stress‑strain modeling, cryptographic analysis, aircraft and missile design, propulsion, heat transfer, and materials science. The collaboration aligns with Lockheed’s 21st Century Security vision to adopt advanced digital technologies and foster global partnerships.
The partnership positions Lockheed as a potential leader in quantum‑enabled defense solutions, offering a strategic advantage over competitors such as IBM, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and Raytheon, who are also investing in quantum technologies for military applications.
PsiQuantum recently raised over $1 billion in a Series E funding round to support the development of its fault‑tolerant quantum computers, underscoring the growing importance of quantum computing in national security.
