Toronto-based startup Xanadu has made significant progress in the field of quantum computing by generating error-resistant photonic qubits on a single chip. This advancement brings Xanadu closer to eliminating errors and scaling up quantum computing capabilities. The company’s long-term goal is to build a quantum computing data center in Canada by 2029. Xanadu’s development involves a special type of qubits known as Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) states, which enable error-free information encoding and operation at room temperature. This breakthrough, published in the journal Nature, is part of Xanadu’s hardware roadmap and represents a critical milestone in the race to develop scalable quantum computing solutions. Founded in 2016, Xanadu has raised $275 million USD to date and plans to raise additional funding in the near future. The startup is part of a quantum race program backed by DARPA and has a research agreement with the US Air Force Research Laboratory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
