Xanadu and GlobalFoundries Partner on Photonic Quantum Manufacturing
A sourced note from the 6 October 2026 morning scan. The figure of record is the original report, not this page.
Xanadu (NASDAQ/TSX: XNDU) and GlobalFoundries entered a multi-year partnership to industrialize Xanadu's superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors and ultra-low-loss silicon nitride photonics on GF's 300 mm line in Malta, New York. The platform is meant to feed future photonic quantum modules and Xanadu's fault-tolerant demonstrators.
Why it matters
A Canadian, publicly listed quantum company tying its roadmap to a major commercial fab is a strong lead story for a Canadian quantum site, and it addresses the volume-manufacturing question that hangs over photonic approaches.
