Delivering Commercial-Scale
Quantum Computing

Quantum computing is poised to accelerate drug discovery, enhance financial modelling, transform cryptography, optimize logistics, and enable breakthroughs in materials science and climate simulations. Photonic will be at the forefront of these transformative changes with the world’s first commercial-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer based on an innovative qubit modality built to scale.

Photonic grew out of an ambitious vision—to engineer a scalable solution for quantum computing from the ground up. Dr. Stephanie Simmons and Dr. Michael Thewalt were convinced that a fundamentally different approach  would be required to support transformative quantum applications at scale. These applications require huge quantities of connected, error-corrected qubits, orchestrated to complete complex operations at any one time. Photonic was founded in 2016, capturing their research into silicon T centres that demonstrate unique properties and marking the start of a new approach to quantum computing.

Commercialization efforts began in 2021, moving quickly from concept to system manufacturing. Photonic’s Entanglement First™ architecture guides the development of our quantum computing platform. Every component is designed to scale up and scale out, enabling high-performance quantum computing with cost-efficient manufacturability and a compact footprint.
