Abstract

Quantum computers are a rapidly developing new technology which show great promise for tackling important scientific problems. Nathan Killoran will share how Xanadu is engineering its platform end-to-end, and what it means to scale a quantum company in Canada at a moment when global competition is accelerating. He’ll explore how its photonic hardware and rich software ecosystem have become essential infrastructure for quantum developers worldwide.
