Photonic grew out of an ambitious vision—to engineer a scalable solution for distributed quantum computing from the ground up. Achieving scale requires systems that are networkable, fault-tolerant, and stable—capabilities engineered into Photonic’s architecture from the outset. It began by finding a qubit uniquely tailored to the needs of distributed quantum computing—a stable, high-performance spin qubit with optical interconnect that could be manufactured, linked, and scaled limitlessly in silicon. With it, Photonic will deliver the world’s first commercial-scale quantum computing system.
Distributed by Design
An Architecture Designed to Deliver at Scale
Our Mission
Commercial-Scale
Quantum Computing
Unlocking the full promise of quantum computing requires more than powerful qubits—it demands massive entanglement and any-to-any connectivity across systems. To provide true quantum advantage, quantum computers must entangle thousands of stable qubits on demand, simultaneously and seamlessly across multiple nodes. Distributed entanglement is the foundation for commercial-scale quantum computing, and Photonic has the technology to deliver it.
Our approach
Architected to
Scale Up, Scale Out, Scale Performance
Photonic was founded on a simple conviction: conventional quantum computing architectures cannot scale to commercial utility. Achieving that requires a fundamentally different approach—one designed for scale, from the start, and at every level. Photonic’s Entanglement First™ Architecture scales up via dense qubit integration in a single integrated-silicon module, scales out through distributed computing across telecom-networked modules, and scales performance with fast quantum operations and efficient error correction across thousands of stable qubits.

Integrated Computing, Connectivity, and Memory
Unlocking the full promise of quantum computing requires more than powerful qubits—it demands massive entanglement and any-to-any connectivity across systems. To provide true quantum advantage, quantum computers must entangle thousands of stable qubits on demand, simultaneously and seamlessly across multiple nodes. Photonic is developing a unique qubit platform based on T centres, a high quality silicon colour centre that supports the demanding requirements of distributed quantum computing.
Our essential capability

True Quantum Networks
True Quantum Networks
Photonic’s Entanglement First™ architecture is underpinned by powerful silicon colour centre qubits that combine three essential capabilities in a single structure: computing, connectivity, and memory. This integration is what makes true scalability possible. Unlike architectures that bolt on networking as an afterthought, Photonic’s qubits are natively linked. This facilitates efficient entanglement distribution via photons over existing telecom fibre—allowing quantum processes to span neighbouring qubits, chips, racks, and even data centres. This any-to-any connectivity is the foundation for scalable quantum computing.

Distributed by Design
Photonic’s Entanglement First™ Architecture drives the design of every element in our quantum computing system, setting the system requirements that ensure it will scale up, scale out, and deliver improved performance. By developing all elements in parallel, Photonic will reduce the timeline to commercial-scale quantum computing. Four pillars support Photonic’s Entanglement First™ Architecture:
