Big thanks to the Canadian Federal Governments support of @XanaduAI. Thanks to @MarkJCarney @EvanLSolomon @melaniejoly and to @j_maloney for being at the opening of our new facility called Inception!
With a CAD $195 million investment from the Canadian Federal Government, Project OPTIMISM is officially underway.
It was an honour to have Canada’s Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation Evan Solomon (@EvanLSolomon) and Etobicoke—Lakeshore Minister of y (@j_maloney) join us at our new Inception facility to announce this milestone investment in the future of quantum computing.

yep our algo team is heavily integrated!
xanadu has cut the cost of a major quantum computing bottleneck twice in less than a year. very very interesting. what's even more intruiging is what happens if christian weedbrook organizes the company around making useful quantum computations cheaper, and gives the algorithms team a direct say in the hardware roadmap. how many machines are being designed around computational costs that somebody could figure out how to eliminate?

Cool
The first Ontario Line tunnel boring machine, Libby, has broken through at the future King West Station after tunnelling its way 1.3 kilometres from Exhibition Station.
It’s another great sign of the progress being made on the transformational Ontario Line, which is supporting nd putting nearly 230,000 people in walking distance of transit.

Who’s got the quickest quantum intuition on the timeline today? 🧩
If you solved this one, what was your time? 👀⏱️

Have you noticed that, today, quantum is never purely quantum?
We did, which is why we teamed up with @AMD to create Backline, an open platform for compilation and low-latency execution that you can use now in @PennyLaneAI.
Get to know Backline and run it yourself: pennylane.ai/demos/backline…

On quantum finding, @_cweedbrook of @XanaduAI says, "I think it’s amazing, I think it’s great. We’re getting pressure all the time to move to the US. We’re fighting that but it’s not easy."

Awesome to see @XanaduAI named in today’s federal budget as a strategic investment in Canada’s technological sovereignty.
Great to see the government also confirming they will move forward with Phase 2 of the Quantum Champions Program, Canada!

Budget 2026 present the most comprehensive suite of business incentives in half a century.
At the heart of it, is the new Productivity Mega Deduction, which will boost Canada’s Investment Supercycle.
Over the next 10 years, this should expand Canada’s productivity capacity, by n a year to GDP and supporting up to 80,000 jobs.
We are making for businesses, small and large, to choose, invest and stay in Canada.

Proud to see @XanaduAI named in today’s federal budget alongside @cohere as a strategic investment in Canada’s technological sovereignty.
With the government also confirming they will move forward with Phase 2 of the Quantum Champions Program, Canada is signalling it intends to build and keep frontier tech at home. Quantum is where that ambition goes next!

In Budget 2026, we’re building a cleaner Canadian economy. Backing clean technology, building more efficiently, and doubling our electricity grid.
That means lower costs for Canadians. More good jobs. Cleaner air.

Backline! by @XanaduAI
xanadu is building software that could help competing quantum companies develop better hardware, cut engineering costs, and get products to market faster. and it's making that software available to everyone. i think this could be a brilliant strategy. if backline becomes the software the industry builds around, xanadu could create a much bigger business than selling quantum computers alone. but widespread adoption isnt the same as competitive advantage. what becomes more valuable about xanadu's business every time another company adopts backline? and how does xanadu make sure that advantage compounds faster than the benefits flowing to its competitors?

Generalized Quantum Signal Processing (GQSP) has become one of the most versatile frameworks for modern quantum algorithms, especially when tackling quantum simulation.
PennyLane has built-in tools for GQSP, but how do you actually apply them to physical systems? 🤔
In our latest demo, @M_Ataallah from @UTKnoxville, Knoxville breaks down how to take full advantage of PennyLane’s GQSP functionality to implement Hamiltonian simulation step-by-step.

We envision a heterogeneous ecosystem where quantum processors perform with CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs working in the background in perfect lockstep.
This is why we partnered with @AMD to build Backline, an open platform for compilation and low-latency execution. Read more on their blog: bit.ly/4deod14

$XNDU and ASML are exploring how better lithography could reduce light loss in photonic quantum chips.
Tiny irregularities along a chip’s structures can scatter light. Better control over those patterns could help more photons survive.
The broader manufacturing challenge matters for quantum sensing too.
Companies such as $INFQ are working to integrate the optics around their sensors onto chips, helping make those systems smaller.
This Xanadu-ASML collaboration was announced in September, and it is still exploratory.
I’m looking forward to seeing what improvements come from it.

Xanadu recently joined forces with semiconductor leader ASML to tackle optical loss with next-gen lithography—fast-tracking the path to utility-scale quantum computing.

Nice
i'd start trying to break backline. make a cpu miss its deadline. stall an fpga. drop a connection halfway through an error correction cycle. see what happens to the measurement data already in flight. check whether the software catches results that arrive too late. can the operator figure out what broke without digging through a mountain of logs? how much of the computation can be recovered? fix what went wrong and break it again. every failure should become a test the next version has to pass. xanadu.ai/docs/backline-…
