Toronto showed up big for IEEE Quantum Week! 🇨🇦 What an incredible stretch for Team Xanadu from delivering a mainstage keynote, running hands-on PennyLane (@​PennyLaneAI) tutorials, sponsoring the inaugural Canadian Quantum Pavilion, and being recognized with a 2026 IEEE QTC Distinguished Synergy Award! On the technical front, we were thrilled to spotlight Backline—co-designed with AMD (@​AMD) for compilation and low-latency execution, connecting quantum workloads to the right classical engine with end-to-end loop times under 3 microseconds. Beyond the main venue, we brought the community together under our own roof, hosting unitaryCON, IWQC, and QRE right at Xanadu HQ!
