Introducing Aurora: First Modular, Scalable and Networked Quantum Computer

January 28, 2025

Introducing Aurora:

Introducing Xanadu’s new quantum computer called Aurora! This is the first time a quantum computer has been built that is modular, networked and truly scalable.

Aurora is peer reviewed in Nature: It is the very first time anyone has combined all the subsystems necessary to implement universal and fault-tolerant quantum computation in a photonic architecture.

About Xanadu: Xanadu is a 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. The company also leads the development of PennyLane, an open-source software library for quantum computing and application development.

  • Why Precision Matters in Automotive Production

    June 8, 2026 In automotive manufacturing, precision directly affects performance, cost, and customer perception. A deviation of just a fraction of a millimeter can lead to noise, vibration, premature wear, or failed inspections. Over time, these small issues become large ones, leading to warranty claims, rework, and inefficiencies. That is why manufacturers are increasingly focused Read More…

  • HVAC Is Your Next Big Efficiency Win, But Mind the Power Quality

    June 2, 2026 After lighting retrofits, HVAC is often the biggest lever for lowering electrical bills. Many facilities are adding variable frequency drives (VFDs) to fans and pumps to cut energy use by matching the speed of motors driving HVAC equipment to actual demand. That delivers real savings, but it can also introduce harmonics and Read More…
