UC Santa Barbara has selected world-leading photonic quantum computing company Xanadu as its partner to enhance quantum education in the state and prepare its students for careers in quantum.
Quantum computers are the next generation of supercomputers. As a dynamic and top-ranking research university, UCSB recognized the prospective value of quantum early on and has been a leader in the quantum field for several years, establishing a dedicated quantum photonics lab and receiving a grant from the National Science Foundation to establish the federal agency’s first Quantum Foundry for developing novel quantum materials. Partnering with Xanadu will propel the quantum efforts at UCSB even further, providing students with a unique opportunity to access top-tier quantum tools and receive hands-on educational training from experts in the field.
Xanadu is a quantum computing company on a mission to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere. Founded in 2016, Xanadu has become a leader in the quantum field, known for its impressive strides in quantum hardware, including being one of three teams worldwide to achieve a Nature-backed demonstration of quantum computational advantage. Their open-source software library for quantum computing and application development, PennyLane, has also become a pillar of academic research. UCSB and Xanadu will leverage Xanadu's suite of existing educational materials to co-create custom resources for students and develop training materials for educators.
