Canadian quantum computing company, Xanadu Quantum Technologies (TSX/NASDAQ:XNDU), is partnering with EV Group, a top semiconductor technology specialist, to accelerate the scaling of photonic quantum systems.

The collaboration will focus on developing novel wafer bonding processes, as well as critical heterogeneous integration processes – combining multiple materials including silicon, lithium niobate and semiconductors onto a single chip – leveraging EV Group’s industrial equipment to fabricate the chips used in Xanadu’s photonic quantum computers.

In this way, the companies intend to facilitate the transition of photonic circuits from the lab to semiconductor foundries, laying the groundwork for commercial quantum computer manufacturing.

Xanadu’s Aurora recently made headlines, including a feature article in Nature, as the world’s first modular, networked photonic quantum computer, with the potential to be scaled up to thousands of servers and millions of qubits today, clearing the way for the world’s first quantum data centre. 

Leadership commentary

“Heterogeneous integration is the key to unlocking the next generation of photonic performance,” Dr. Christian Weedbrook, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Xanadu Quantum Technologies, said in Tuesday’s news release. “Working with EV Group allows us to push the boundaries of what’s possible on-chip, bringing us ever closer to a useful, large-scale quantum data center.”

“This partnership is a clear demonstration of how established semiconductor technologies can accelerate next-generation high-performance computing, and quantum is the next frontier,” added Paul Lindner, Executive Technology Director at EV Group. “We are proud to support Xanadu by providing the high-precision bonding and interface engineering solutions required to unite and scale complex photonic platforms. This collaboration demonstrates how our advanced integration technologies are paving the way for the quantum computing era.”
