Distributed Quantum Computing at Scale
Photonic Inc. was founded in 2016 by Dr. Stephanie Simmons and Dr. Michael Thewalt, researchers at Simon Fraser University who pioneered the use of silicon T centres as a scalable qubit platform. The company's Entanglement First™ architecture enables distributed, fault-tolerant quantum computing designed to scale across networked nodes. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada with offices spanning North America, the UK, and Europe, Photonic has raised $140M+ from investors including Microsoft and BCI. The platform targets transformative applications in drug discovery, financial modelling, cryptography, logistics optimization, and climate simulation.
