“We’re closer than many people realize.” Our CQO Stephanie Simmons speaks with Mark Lowey at Research Money about scaling quantum systems, reducing qubit overhead 10x, and building from Vancouver with global impact. Full Q&A here: https://f.mtr.cool/muzjkmniam #ResearchMoney #PhotonicInc

Stronger spin memory starts with better control. New research with the Silicon Quantum Technology Lab at Simon Fraser University and Rice University maps the silicon T centre hydrogen hyperfine tensor — advancing spin-photon interfaces in the telecom O-band.

Following our recent $180M CAD financing round, we’ve appointed four new directors to Photonic’s Board. Alex van Someren (Executive Chair), Don Mattrick (Vice Chair), Nathan Medlock, and Ashton Scordo join our Board with deep experience in tech, investment, and global scale.

There are no limits when you work from the premise that connection has the potential to change everything.    This Valentine’s Day, we're celebrating togetherness - be it qubits, people, or candy hearts! ❤️⚛️

We’ve achieved a world-first milestone in quantum networking. Photonic and TELUS successfully demonstrated quantum teleportation over 30 km of existing commercial fibre — proving today’s fibre optic infrastructure can reliably carry quantum information.
