Businesses have been granted access to the first commercially-available photonic quantum computers through the Xanadu Quantum Cloud platform.

This platform allows Xanadu customers and partners to remotely access quantum machines fitted with 8-qubit and 12-qubit processors, with 24-qubit machines set to be available shortly. The company also projects they can double the capacity of these machines every six months.

The advantage of photonic quantum computers over conventional systems, built by the likes of IBM and Google, is that these quantum processors can be operated at room temperature.

"We believe that photonics offers the most viable approach towards universal fault-tolerant quantum computing with Xanadu's ability to network a large number of quantum processors together,” said Xanadu founder and CEO Christian Weedbrook.
“We are excited to provide this ecosystem, a world-first for both quantum and classical photonics. Our architecture is new, designed to scale-up like the Internet versus traditional mainframe-like approaches to quantum computing."

Xanadu, for example, is also releasing its open source tools on GitHub. These include Strawberry Fields, a cross-platform Python library for simulating and executing programmes on its hardware, as well as PennyLane, a software library for quantum machine learning, quantum computing and quantum chemistry.
