Xanadu Quantum Technologies (XNDU) and ASML announced a collaboration on 9 September 2026 to develop advanced lithography processes for Xanadu’s photonic quantum hardware. The work focuses on using lithography innovations to help reduce optical losses in photonic quantum chips, a key challenge on the path to fault-tolerant, error-corrected quantum computing.
The companies plan to explore lithography-enabled process approaches that may improve patterning control and enable lower-loss photonic structures by addressing factors such as line edge roughness. Xanadu’s CEO said the collaboration will support continued development of the company’s photonic quantum hardware, while ASML views it as a way to apply its technology and expertise to next-generation photonics applications and future manufacturing approaches for photonic quantum hardware.
Xanadu (NASDAQ/TSX: XNDU) outlined a milestone-based roadmap toward fault-tolerant, commercial-scale photonic quantum computing, including a path to 1,000+ logical qubits by 2031. The company targets major loss reduction in its architecture, improved logical error rates and deployment of a quantum data center around 2029–2030.
The roadmap includes a qubit factory (2026–2027), a fault-tolerance milestone (2028–2029) and scaling from up to 200 logical qubits by 2029 to 500 by 2030. Xanadu is building out its 158,000-square-foot Toronto facility, Inception, to support manufacturing and integration.
On software, Xanadu highlighted strong adoption of its PennyLane platform, used by 30.8% of surveyed quantum developers, with about 1.1 million monthly installs, more than 1,890 public repositories, access to 51 devices via one API and over 150 university partners. According to the company, PennyLane is central to its future commercialization and hardware demand strategy.
Xanadu reported approximately US$686 million of total available funding as of June 30, 2026, including US$312.8 million in cash and equivalents, US$232.8 million of remaining capacity under its SATM facility with Yorkville Advisors and about US$140.2 million of confirmed Government of Canada funding under Project OPTIMISM.
Xanadu (NASDAQ/TSX: XNDU) signed a definitive agreement with the Government of Canada for CAD $195 million in support through the Strategic Response Fund for Project OPTIMISM. This federal funding, described as the largest quantum manufacturing investment in Canadian history, completes the federal portion of up to CAD $390 million previously announced for the project.
According to Xanadu, the investment is expected to help establish advanced Canadian manufacturing capabilities for fault-tolerant, utility-scale photonic quantum computers, including photonic chip integration, packaging, wafer-level testing, and quantum module assembly, providing a vertically integrated path from chip to system and supporting future quantum data-centre plans.
Xanadu (NASDAQ/TSX: XNDU) announced that it will establish “Inception,” an advanced photonics research, development, and manufacturing facility in Toronto, as part of Project OPTIMISM. The project is supported by CAD $195 million in federal government funding announced on August 28, 2026.
The 158,000-square-foot facility is expected to include state-of-the-art cleanrooms, 24/7 test and measurement capabilities, and first-of-its-kind heterogeneous integration to scale photonic hardware for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Inception is also expected to house Xanadu’s Systems Integration and Operation Centre for assembling and testing quantum modules for future quantum data centres.
Xanadu Quantum Technologies (NASDAQ/TSX: XNDU) announced the next phase of its partnership with Mitsubishi Chemical to apply quantum computing algorithms to semiconductor fabrication, focusing on extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. This phase is backed by Canada’s NRC IRAP and Japan’s SIP program, led by AIST and G-QuAT.
The new work will build on earlier results where Xanadu and Mitsubishi used quantum algorithms to model optical properties of EUV photoresists. The partners plan to create an FTQC-ready software pipeline that feeds quantum-derived parameters into Mitsubishi’s multi-scale models to predict radiation-induced blur and support discovery of new EUV resist materials for next‑generation semiconductor manufacturing.
Xanadu (NASDAQ/TSX: XNDU) announced the next phase of its collaboration with Mitsubishi Chemical to develop quantum-computing-based methods for improving extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, a key process in next‑generation semiconductor fabrication. The project is jointly supported by Canada’s NRC IRAP and Japan’s Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP), led by AIST and G‑QuAT.
Building on earlier work where Xanadu and Mitsubishi used quantum algorithms to model optical properties of EUV photoresists, the new phase will develop an FTQC‑ready software pipeline. This workflow will feed parameters from Xanadu’s quantum simulations into Mitsubishi’s multi‑scale models to predict radiation‑induced blur and identify materials that mitigate blurring. According to Xanadu, the initiative aims to create a blueprint for quantum‑driven materials discovery, strengthen Canada‑Japan research ties, and unlock commercial value from early fault‑tolerant quantum computing systems in the global semiconductor industry. Xanadu notes it has previously received more than $800,000 in NRC IRAP funding that helped enable this advancement.
Xanadu Quantum Technologies (NASDAQ: XNDU, TSX: XNDU) will host a Technological Roadmap Presentation on August 31, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. ET.
