Xanadu Quantum Technologies and TELUS announced plans to collaborate on advancing sovereign quantum computing infrastructure in Canada, and to exploring the development of a quantum data centre integrated with TELUS' secure, Canadian-controlled, sovereign infrastructure. Under a newly-signed MOU, the two Canadian technology leaders will explore how quantum processors can be combined with high-performance computing systems to create sovereign hybrid quantum-classical computing infrastructure in Canada - one of the first of its kind in the world. By bringing together Xanadu's expertise in photonic quantum computing with TELUS' sovereign AI expertise, advanced data centre operations, and coast-to-coast PureFibre network, this initiative will provide Canadian enterprises, researchers, and government organizations with secure access to next-generation quantum computing capabilities. These capabilities are poised to unlock breakthroughs in fields like AI, drug discovery, materials science, cybersecurity, and national security, all while keeping critical data and intellectual property in Canada, under Canadian control.

Xanadu Quantum Technologies has partnered with the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, ETRI, on a new two-year collaborative research project. The project is supported by a major grant from the South Korean government to advance the nation's quantum ecosystem. The new research partnership focuses on advancing the software infrastructure required to study and execute complex algorithms for fault-tolerant quantum computing. The collaboration aims to equip researchers with tools to identify algorithmic bottlenecks and optimize resource usage, a critical step toward enabling distributed quantum computing. "It is vital for researchers to understand the quantum resources their algorithms require," said Christian Weedbrook, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Xanadu. "By developing advanced resource estimation and compiler tools in PennyLane and Catalyst, we are providing ETRI with the software capabilities needed to design next-generation algorithms that are both efficient and scalable." Xanadu recently announced a business combination agreement with Crane Harbor Acquisition Corp.

Xanadu Quantum Technologies announced a "major step forward in bringing quantum computing closer to real-world aerospace and engineering applications" by using AMD (AMD) HPC and AI technologies. By combining Xanadu's PennyLane quantum software with AMD computing solutions on the AMD DevCloud, Xanadu successfully demonstrated how advanced aerospace simulations can be prepared and run in a hybrid quantum-classical environment.
