Xanadu unveils a roadmap targeting fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2028–2029 and over 1,000 logical qubits by 2031.

Xanadu sets a 2031 roadmap target of 1,000+ usable qubits using a room-temperature photonic architecture.

Canada commits CAD $195M to Xanadu for photonic quantum chip manufacturing under Project OPTIMISM.
World's first modular, networked photonic quantum computer, unveiled in 2025. Connects multiple photonic processor modules through fiber-optic links and demonstrated 12 logical GKP qubits with real-time error correction decoding—a critical step toward fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing. Achieved a 60% reduction in optical loss in 2025 (20-fold improvement over three years). Designed to scale by networking modules without requiring cryogenic cooling, enabling data-center-compatible deployment.
Open-source quantum machine learning and quantum computing software framework with 160,000 average monthly downloads (161% YoY growth as of early 2026). Supports hardware-agnostic quantum circuit programming, automatic differentiation for variational quantum algorithms, and hybrid classical-quantum workflows. Compatible with IBM, Rigetti, IonQ, and Xanadu's own hardware; extended to run on Frontier exascale supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory via MPI-based multi-node execution in April 2026.
14 patents on file, but none with both an extractable figure and an abstract on Google Patents yet.
