Canada launches the Canadian Quantum Champions Program (CQCP), offering up to 23 million CAD per selected firm to help four Canadian quantum companies build key building blocks while staying headquartered in Canada.

The photonic, room-temperature approach emphasizes reduced cooling needs, superior qubit connectivity, and a modular, networkable design.

Anyon Systems reiterates its mission to give researchers and industry access to real quantum systems now while building fault-tolerant capabilities for the future.

Xanadu’s photonic quantum architecture offers room-temperature operation, enhanced qubit connectivity, and a modular networked design, with Aurora serving as a proof-of-concept for scalable, error-corrected quantum computing.

Photonic’s technology targets materials science, drug discovery, climate change, and security, aiming to integrate with data centers and telecom environments.

Media contacts for Photonic Inc. and its PR agency are provided for follow-up information.

Aurora is positioned as a proof-of-concept for large-scale, error-corrected quantum computing within Xanadu’s roadmap.

Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada leads the initiative, with the National Research Council of Canada conducting Phase 1 technical due diligence.

Xanadu’s broader involvement is highlighted, linking progress in Canada to DARPA and Rolls-Royce collaborations and a SPAC transaction context.

Industry and government officials frame quantum technology as strategic infrastructure critical to economic competitiveness, sovereignty, and national security, with broad applications in defence, energy, materials science, and secure communications.

Public statements acknowledge risks and uncertainties in quantum commercialization and the proposed transaction, with forthcoming SEC disclosures and investor communications.

Xanadu CEO stresses the goal of making quantum computers useful and accessible to people everywhere.
