Nanophotonic chip powered by laser pulses
Access the paradigm-shifting X-Series devices — the first photonic quantum computers deployed to the cloud. Powered by laser pulses, the X-Series push the boundaries of integrated quantum nanophotonics by demonstrating generation of on-chip squeezed states (the photonic analogue of a qubit) alongside fully programmable quantum gates and photon-number resolving detectors. Learn more about the X-Series devices in our publication in Nature.
- Program the world’s first cloud-accessible integrated quantum nanophotonic device.
- Perform Gaussian boson sampling with applications in chemistry and graph networks.
- Evaluate on-chip squeezing, generating a pulse of photons analogous to a qubit.
- Use cutting-edge detectors to accurately count photons at the end of the circuit.
Whether accessing X-Series devices directly through Xanadu Cloud or from your own computer, there's a wide range of options to check out:
- Use Strawberry Fields to submit an example circuit and generate samples.
- Simulate quantum chemistry on the X8 device.
- Explore wider applications of Gaussian boson sampling through our applications layer, including embedding bipartite graphs.
- Interact with pre-generated datasets and analyze sample distributions.
- Compile more general photonic circuits into a hardware-compatible gateset.
