Photonic Inc.: Quantum Photonic Computing and Communication

Europe’s interest in quantum photonics has surged as the continent seeks secure, future-proof communications and computing infrastructure. Photonic Inc. (HQ Vancouver) is a North American quantum startup pioneering “photonically linked silicon spin qubits” for scalable quantum computers and networks[1][2]. Its “Entanglement First™” architecture is designed to integrate computing and telecom interconnects for fault-tolerant quantum processing, with high connectivity and hardware error correction[3][4]. Photonic has attracted major investment ($140M+ to date) and partnered with Microsoft, TELUS and defense agencies[5][6]. Though Canadian-led, its work addresses shared Allied priorities: ultra-secure quantum communications, advanced computing capabilities and cryptography-safe networking. Photonic’s innovations—demonstrated in lab and carrier fiber tests—embody the kind of emerging quantum technologies that European and NATO planners view as critical for future deterrence, interoperability and autonomy[7][8].
