Xanadu and GlobalFoundries move photonic quantum components to industrial manufacturing
Xanadu announced a multi-year partnership with GlobalFoundries to scale manufacturing of its photonic quantum hardware. The companies will use GlobalFoundries' 300 mm fab in Malta, New York to produce Xanadu's superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors and ultra-low-loss silicon nitride photonic circuits at industrial volumes. The collaboration is designed to supply components for Xanadu's upcoming fault-tolerant quantum demonstrators and future commercial quantum systems.
- Multi-year manufacturing partnership at GlobalFoundries Malta, New York
- Industrial production of SNSPDs and silicon nitride photonic circuits
- Combines Xanadu's quantum photonics design with GF's semiconductor fabrication expertise
- Supplies Xanadu's fault-tolerant quantum demonstrators and commercial platforms
- Shift from small-scale prototyping to 300 mm semiconductor-fab production
