Photonic was featured in an article from Computing UK exploring six of the leading approaches to building scalable quantum computers, including silicon spin qubits and the role of networking in enabling large-scale quantum systems.

In a recent Financial Post feature, our Co-Founder and Chief Quantum Officer, Dr. Stephanie Simmons, shares Photonic’s vision for distributed quantum computing, the importance of networking quantum systems together, and the opportunity ahead for Canada in the global quantum race.

On Monday,  Kristine Boone, Product Manager at Photonic joined Reza Nejabati (@cisco.com) and Edward Wood (@nuquantum.bsky.social) for techUK’s Quantum Networks and the Future of UK Connectivity webinar, hosted by Sara Duodu.

We’re pleased to welcome Orlagh Neary as Chief Marketing Officer and Briony Shipman as Vice President, Global Government Affairs to Photonic’s executive leadership team.    Together, they will help strengthen Photonic’s role in shaping the future of the quantum industry.

Our Executive Chair, Alex van Someren, will moderate a panel on July 8th at the CW Technology & Engineering Conference in London, UK. The discussion will explore how the future of compute will include AI, optical, and quantum technologies, and the opportunities they create.

Happy Canada Day. 🇨🇦 Canada has established itself as a global leader in quantum innovation thanks to a strong ecosystem of researchers, educators, entrepreneurs, industry partners, policymakers, and technology companies working toward a shared goal. We’re stronger because we build it together.

It’s day 2 of Quantum.Tech World!   You’ll find team Photonic at Booth I11, and so far it’s been great to see the energy across the event, as well as the strong focus on real-world use cases and tangible progress in quantum computing.

Last week, the Photonic team attended Commercialising Quantum Global 2026 in London. It was a great opportunity to connect with leaders from across the quantum ecosystem and take part in discussions on the future of quantum technologies. #EconQuantum

Quantum.Tech World is this week in Boston. Photonic is a Silver Sponsor at Quantum.Tech World in Boston this week. Maik Hassel, VP, Product, will join the panel “Where are we on the path to FTQC?” on June 25 at 10:20 AM alongside leaders from D-Wave Quantum and QuantWare. #QuantumTechWorld2026

Dr. Chloe Clear, Quantum Engineer at Photonic, will be speaking at the 2026 Canada-Korea Conference on Science and Technology next week in Whistler. Her talk explores how silicon spin-photon qubits and distributed entanglement could enable scalable, networked quantum computers.

The future of quantum will be built by exceptional people. At Photonic, we're developing distributed, commercial-scale quantum computers powered by our Entanglement First™ architecture. We're growing our team. Explore our open roles: https://f.mtr.cool/ubfszucccp

Last week, our Chief Quantum Officer, Dr. Stephanie Simmons, joined SPOKEN’s Women in Leadership event in Vancouver as a panellist.   Leaders across industries discussed leadership, resilience, and purpose.   Read Dr. Simmons' feature:

Photonic is sponsoring Commercialising Quantum Global 2026, taking place June 16th–17th in London, England. As a Silver Sponsor, we're looking forward to joining leaders from across industry, academia, and government to discuss the future of quantum technologies.

Our team will be at Photonics North 2026 in Québec City this week. As a Gold Partner, we’re looking forward to connecting with researchers, innovators, and emerging talent. Interested in a career in quantum technologies? Visit us at Booth #22. #PhotonicsNorth #TeamPhotonic

On Monday, Maik Hassel, Director of Product at Photonic, spoke at the QUANTUM NOW | DEFSEC conference hosted by Quantum Industry Canada. The event brought together leaders across quantum, defence, security, and policy to discuss moving quantum technologies into real-world systems.

For the second year in a row, Photonic has been recognized as one of BetaKit’s Most Ambitious. This year, we’re featured in the “Defend the Dominion” category, highlighting organizations driving dual-use Canadian innovation. Thank you to @betakit.com  for the recognition.

Earlier this month, Dr. Chloe Clear spoke at QNetworks 2026 in Bristol on "Distributed Quantum Computing with Silicon Colour Centres," discussing spin-photon qubit devices for scalable quantum tech. Thanks to Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for sponsoring the free event.

Last week, our Chief Quantum Officer and Chief Product Officer were panellists at Vancouver's Web Summit. Missed it? Watch all the Mainstage recordings on our YouTube channel.

It is a big week for Photonic. On Tuesday, we announced the final close of our $200M USD funding round, bringing total capital raised to over $350M USD and valuing the company at $2B USD. The media coverage linked to this post tells the story.

Today marks a significant milestone for Photonic.   We’ve completed the final close of an over $200M USD ($275M CAD) funding round, bringing our total capital raised to over $350M USD and valuing the company at $2B USD. Read more: https://f.mtr.cool/gwaymloory #TeamPhotonic

Web Summit Vancouver is coming up. Our CPO, Dr. Paul Terry, will be speaking on two panels: 🔹 AI x Quantum: Why British Columbia Is Positioned to Lead the Next Computing Wave | May 12 | 1:00PM | BC Pavilion 🔹 Quantum Partnerships: From Innovation to Global Advantage | May 12 | 2:45PM | Stage 5

Our CQO, Dr. Stephanie Simmons, will be at Web Summit Vancouver next week. This session will explore how AI transformed software and how quantum computing is set to transform what’s next. The conversation will focus on AI, quantum computing, and real-world systems converging into a new paradigm.

Photonic has been recognized with a 2026 iF Design Award for the industrial design of our quantum computer product line, developed in partnership with Design 3. This reflects the integration of design, engineering, and functionality needed to build systems that operate at scale.

On Earth Day, we’re reminded how powerful perspective can be. From Artemis, Earth appears as one interconnected system. Quantum brings that same shift in thinking, helping tackle global challenges. The challenges are big, and so is the opportunity to rethink what’s possible. Photo Credit: NASA
