Toronto-based quantum computing firm Xanadu has partnered with Corning, a leading materials company, to advance the networking of photonic quantum computing chips. This collaboration aims to develop low-loss optical fibre interconnects necessary for scaling quantum computers to a fault-tolerant million-qubit system. Xanadu, a prominent player in the Canadian quantum computing sector and a tech unicorn as of 2022, is leveraging Corning’s expertise in fibre optics to achieve this milestone. The partnership is part of Xanadu’s broader efforts, including a $200 million fundraising initiative for a quantum data centre and collaboration with Toronto Metropolitan University on educational programs.
