Xanadu Expands Partnership with A*STAR to Advance Photonic Quantum Computing

It was a proud day for us as we gathered for the signing of the MoU – together, Xanadu and A*STAR are taking a major step forward in advancing photonic quantum computing.

As global investment in quantum technologies accelerates, A*STAR brings strong capabilities across photonics heterogenous integration, quantum sensing, quantum software and algorithms, quantum materials and devices, semiconductors, and advanced packaging. Combined with Xanadu’s expertise in photonic quantum computing hardware, software, and algorithms, this collaboration aims to strengthen critical research efforts and support future quantum technology developments.

Together, Xanadu and A*STAR plan to work on quantum-focused projects including error mitigation, quantum light sources, quantum connectivity using integrated photonic chips, packaging, and ASIC integration.

Founder and CEO Christian Weedbrook shared that this expanded collaboration will accelerate the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers that can solve real-world problems, and drive the next wave of quantum innovation from Singapore.

A*STAR’s Deputy Chief Executive (Innovation & Enterprise) Prof Yeo Yee Chia highlighted that the expanded partnership will unlock new approaches in photonic quantum hardware and software stack, strengthening Singapore’s position as a trusted partner for companies developing the next generation of quantum technologies.

Xanadu is a Canadian quantum computing company with the mission to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere. Founded in 2016, Xanadu has become one of the world's leading quantum hardware and software companies.
