The verified answer

As of Aug 2026, DEPLOY verifies Aurora, a other by Xanadu Quantum Technologies (research). 1 source back the record.

Overview

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.

Common questions

What is 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.
How much does Aurora cost?
Aurora's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for Aurora from Xanadu Quantum Technologies. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest.
Is Aurora actually deployed in the real world?
Aurora is at the research stage: it exists, but DEPLOY has no verified real-world deployment on record. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.
Who makes Aurora?
Aurora is made by Xanadu Quantum Technologies, based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, founded in 2016.
Can you buy Aurora?
Aurora is at research stage and is not yet available for sale.
What are alternatives to Aurora?
On the DEPLOY registry, comparable other robots to Aurora include 10Beauty Manicure System, CleanSpark Bitcoin Mining Fleet, Blueye X3 Ultra, PillPick.
How does Aurora compare to 10Beauty Manicure System?
Aurora and 10Beauty Manicure System (10Beauty · 6 deployments) are both other robots on the DEPLOY registry. Aurora has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.
What is Aurora's maturity stage?
Aurora is at the research stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Research stage means active development without commercial deployments on file.
Where is Aurora deployed?
No verified deployments of Aurora are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
Is Aurora safe?
Aurora has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
