Fault-tolerance sooner than predicted.

Photonic's quantum computer will be the first scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing and networking platform, based on photonically linked silicon spin qubits. It will allow organizations in industry, government, and academia to realize the incredible power and potential of quantum computing in the near future.

A new spin on quantum computing.

Photonic’s architecture uniquely networks silicon spin qubits together with photons to overcome the challenges that impede other platforms. The combined solution uses photonically-linked silicon spin qubits to implement a resource-efficient, error-corrected and truly scalable quantum computing platform. The Photonic silicon spin-photon platform establishes a clear path to scalable fault-tolerance.

Our Platform

  • Compute Power

    Computational power is at the heart of any quantum computer. By using spin qubits, the Photonic architecture harnesses best-in-class compute power and memory that is key to achieving fault-tolerance.

  • Networking

    A powerful qubit is only as effective as its ability to communicate. By using a qubit with a photon interface, the Photonic architecture is able to communicate using ultralow-loss telecommunications band fibres, enabling fault tolerance at scale.

  • Scale

    Scalability is a challenge for most quantum platforms. The Photonic architecture combines the advanced manufacturing capability of silicon with distributed computing to achieve a quantum computer with unlimited potential to scale.

Leveraging T centres to harness the compute power of spins and the communication capabilities of photons, Photonic is delivering on that promise.

Target Applications

Early Priorities

By delivering the world's first fault-tolerant quantum computer, Photonic will deliver on decades-long expectations and revolutionize the fields of cryptography, drug discovery, financial modeling, and artificial intelligence.

Networking

By inherently supporting quantum networking, Photonic’s computing architecture will be one of the first to support quantum key distribution (QKD), post-quantum cryptography (PQC), blind and remote quantum computing and more. This will provide security to the global communications network for a vast range of use cases across the public and private sectors.

Sustainability

We need chemical energy alternatives and carbon removal from the air to keep global warming under 1.5˚C. Quantum computing is an essential component to designing the chemical catalysts that are critical to these processes.

Drug Discovery

Quantum computing will have a profound effect on the discovery, creation, and approval rates of new innovative pharmaceuticals. This will result in developing treatments and therapies for serious illnesses that currently have no viable alternatives.

Finance

Quantum computing will have a seismic impact on the financial industry by enabling greater returns through portfolio optimization and reduced risk through improved risk analysis. These advances will have a lasting impact on the way we do business.
