ASML explores photonics with Xanadu quantum collaboration

Quantum ZeitgeistSeptember 9, 20262 min read

Xanadu Quantum Technologies Limited and ASML announced a collaboration to develop advanced lithography processes for Xanadu’s photonic quantum hardware, aiming to reduce optical losses in quantum computing chips and accelerate the path toward utility-scale quantum computing. This collaboration will explore lithography-enabled process approaches that may contribute to improved patterning control and lower-loss photonic structures.

Xanadu, a quantum computing company traded on the NASDAQ and Toronto Stock Exchange (XNDU), is collaborating with semiconductor equipment provider ASML to address optical loss in its processors, a key challenge to…
