Xanadu, a world leader in photonic quantum computing, received a repayable contribution from the Government of Canada, through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), to help companies advance and commercialize their quantum products. This funding, through the Regional Quantum Initiative (RQI), will accelerate the development of PennyLane, Xanadu's open-source, cloud-based software framework for quantum machine learning, quantum chemistry, and quantum computing.
