Xanadu
Xanadu develops photonic quantum computers, which use particles of light and are designed to run at room temperature, and maintains PennyLane, a widely used open-source quantum programming platform; it went public in 2026 through a merger with Crane Harbor Acquisition Corp.

Xanadu is not an AI company; it appears on an AI map because quantum machines are being built to work alongside classical CPU/GPU computing (it co-launched AMD's Backline quantum-classical interconnect) and draw on the same chip supply chain (a lithography collaboration with ASML), and because it is a QTUM ETF holding.
Earns revenue from quantum hardware and software development contracts, research partnerships and government-funded programs; revenue is still small.

Quantum computing. Companies building quantum computers, quantum networking and quantum-safe security. Quantum machines are not AI systems, and most of these companies earn little revenue today; they are on this map because quantum computing is widely pursued as the next kind of computing after today's chips, and because several of them already work with the chip, cloud and AI companies elsewhere on the map.
