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. The event will be accessible via live and replay webcast through provided links and the company website. It is aimed at investors and analysts and will offer detailed insights into Xanadu’s technological roadmap, including presentations from executive and technical leadership on the company’s path toward large-scale fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing.
Xanadu (NASDAQ/TSX: XNDU) and the University of Alberta have formed a strategic research partnership to develop quantum algorithms for cancer treatment, focusing on next-generation photosensitizers used in photodynamic therapy. The collaboration is led by Xanadu’s algorithms team and Professor Alex Brown, Chair of Chemistry at the University of Alberta.
The partners aim to build a quantum computing framework to model complex light-matter interactions in photosensitizers, addressing limitations of slow experiments and classical simulations. According to Xanadu, this work is intended to strengthen its quantum-based workflow for drug design and expand applications in pharmaceutical research.
Xanadu (NASDAQ/TSX: XNDU) reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $1.5 million, up from $1.1 million a year earlier but down from $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2026. Net loss widened to $42.1 million versus $15.1 million in Q2 2025, while Adjusted EBITDA loss was $21.3 million compared with $13.4 million a year ago.
R&D expense rose to $19.7 million and G&A to $11.1 million, reflecting higher engineering and corporate costs. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $312.8 million as of June 30, 2026, supported by a $67.2 million raise under a $300 million synthetic at-the-market equity facility with Yorkville Advisors, through the sale of 5.5 million Class B shares at an average net price of $12.28. The quarter also included chip-packaging performance gains, expanded U.S. operations, PennyLane software releases, and renewed or new collaborations with organizations including Rolls-Royce, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, major banks, and Lockheed Martin.
Xanadu (NASDAQ/TSX: XNDU) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) announced a strategic collaboration to expand quantum training through Lockheed Martin’s Quantum Talent Pipeline (QTP) program. QTP participants will use Xanadu’s PennyLane quantum programming stack, educational resources, and workshops to build practical quantum skills for aerospace, defense, and advanced engineering applications.
According to Xanadu, its team will provide dedicated instruction on quantum programming, algorithms, and use of quantum simulators and hardware via PennyLane, as QTP scales to additional engineer cohorts across Lockheed Martin’s workforce.
Xanadu (NASDAQ/TSX: XNDU) announced a major expansion of its U.S. operations, anchored by a growing office in Albany, New York, a quantum and semiconductor hub.
The company reports its U.S. workforce has grown over 5-fold since 2023, now spanning 19 states, supported by photonic quantum hardware advances and partnerships with Corning, Applied Materials, DISCO, and EV Group.
Xanadu (Nasdaq/TSX: XNDU) announced a milestone in ultra-low loss photonic chip packaging, reporting an average 0.085 dB/facet edge-coupling loss for its photonic chips.
This result stems from advances in chip design, fabrication, and packaging, leveraging Xanadu’s internal packaging facility and collaborations with Corning and DISCO.
Xanadu (Nasdaq: XNDU) announced an algorithmic breakthrough in Quantum Read-Only Memory (QROM), a key subroutine for loading classical data onto quantum computers. The new implementation is expected to reduce expensive quantum operations and Toffoli gate counts in QROM modules by approximately twofold.
According to Xanadu, the method replaces qubit “swapping” with “copying” and streamlines back-to-back QROM sequences by consolidating multiple data-unloading steps into a single process. These changes are expected to roughly halve QROM costs, improving use of limited qubits for near-term, utility-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers.
Xanadu (Nasdaq/TSX: XNDU) entered a synthetic at-the-market equity facility of up to $300 million with Yorkville Advisors under a three-year Standby Equity Purchase Agreement. Proceeds, if any, will support working capital and general corporate purposes via treasury offerings of Class B subordinate voting shares.
