Developers can now access Xanadu\u2019s gate-based photonic quantum processors, in 8, 12, and soon 24-qubit machines.<\/p>\n<p>Photonics based quantum computers have many advantages over older platforms. Xanadu\u2019s quantum processors operate at room temperature. They can easily integrate into existing fiber optic-based telecommunication infrastructure, enabling a future where quantum computers are networked. It also offers great scalability supporting fault tolerance, owing to robust error-resistant physical qubits and flexibility in designing error correction codes. Xanadu\u2019s unique type of qubit is based on squeezed states \u2013 a special type of light generated by our own chip-integrated silicon photonic devices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that photonics offers the most viable approach towards universal fault-tolerant quantum computing with Xanadu\u2019s ability to network a large number of quantum processors together. We are excited to provide this ecosystem, a world-first for both quantum and classical photonics,\u201d said Christian Weedbrook, Xanadu Founder and CEO. \u201cOur architecture is new, designed to scale-up like the Internet versus traditional mainframe-like approaches to quantum computing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xanadu, a photonic quantum computing company, announced today the release of the world\u2019s first publicly available photonic quantum cloud platform, according to a press release.
