Xanadu

Xanadu is a Canadian quantum computing company pioneering photonic quantum computing — using light particles (photons) instead of superconducting circuits or trapped ions to build scalable quantum processors. Xanadu’s photonic approach offers key advantages including room-temperature operation, natural compatibility with fiber optic networks, and a clear path to fault-tolerant quantum computing. Access Xanadu’s photonic quantum hardware through Xanadu Cloud, and build quantum applications using PennyLane, Xanadu’s industry-leading open-source framework for quantum machine learning, quantum chemistry, and variational quantum algorithms. PennyLane integrates with all major quantum hardware and ML frameworks including PyTorch and TensorFlow.
