The verified answer
As of Aug 2026, DEPLOY verifies Xanadu Quantum Technologies: 2 models. 2 sources back the record.
Overview
Xanadu Quantum Technologies is a Canadian photonic quantum computing company headquartered in Toronto, founded by Christian Weedbrook in 2016. The company builds fault-tolerant quantum computers using light, with systems designed to compute at room temperature, and develops both hardware (the Aurora modular photonic quantum computer) and software (PennyLane , an open-source quantum computing platform).
Xanadu became the first pure-play photonic quantum computing company to list on public markets via a business combination with Crane Harbor Acquisition Corp., trading on Nasdaq and TSX under ticker XNDU.

PennyLane
PennyLane is Xanadu's open-source quantum computing platform and software library for quantum machine learning and application development. The foundational PennyLane white paper surpassed 2,000 citations, and the platform is widely adopted across the quantum research community, including deployments on Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Frontier exascale supercomputer.
Current platform
Aurora
Aurora is the world's first modular, scalable, and networked photonic quantum computer, introduced by Xanadu in January 2025. Published in Nature, Aurora demonstrated 12 logical GKP qubits with real-time error correction and a modular design that supports flexible scaling while maintaining coherence across distributed qubits — a major architectural milestone toward large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
