Xanadu Quantum Technologies and Mitsubishi Chemical launched the next phase of their semiconductor fabrication partnership. National innovation programs from Canada and Japan now provide financial backing for the collaboration.
The joint effort targets extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography challenges to improve next-generation chip manufacturing. Researchers are developing a software pipeline using Xanadu’s quantum simulations to identify materials that prevent fabrication blurring.
This expansion follows a successful initial phase where the companies modeled EUV lithography using quantum algorithms.
