Project Optimism
Xanadu Quantum Technologies is developing a fault-tolerant, utility-scale photonic quantum computer targeted for commercialization by 2029-2030. Using a modular, networked architecture and room-temperature photonic computing, the system is designed to scale to 500 logical qubits by 2030 and 1,000+ by 2031.
Province or territory: UNKNOWN · Source-described stage: The project has a long-term development horizon, with full realization targeted for 2040 · Source location: Canada — location not yet normalized

How BuildAtlas reads this record
This record is retained because it helps connect a named project to the capabilities, dependencies, and constraints around delivery.
What to keep in view
What this page does not establish
A source-described stage, capital figure, or proposed capability is not the same as completed construction, committed financing, operating output, or guaranteed delivery. BuildAtlas keeps those distinctions visible.
