About
Photonic is building the world's first commercial-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer, powered by a unique qubit technology and designed for unlimited scalability from the start. Scaling quantum computers is the grand challenge - not just achieving quality, but quantity - because only at scale can we unlock exponential speedups for the world's most critical problems, from drug discovery and climate modelling to secure communications and advanced AI. At the core is Photonic's Entanglement First™ architecture, which prioritizes entanglement distribution across nodes. Photonic was founded on a simple conviction: conventional quantum computing architectures cannot scale to commercial utility. Achieving that requires a fundamentally different approach - one designed for scale, from the start, and at every level. The company's high-connectivity architecture leverages a unique qubit modality - optically linked silicon spin qubits - to enable powerful computation, efficient error correction, and seamless integration with existing data center and telecom environments. With over $200M USD in funding and partnerships including Microsoft Azure, Photonic is advancing quantum technologies alongside leading investors, partners, and customers worldwide.
