Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Xanadu Aurora is a photonic quantum computing system that encodes and processes quantum information in squeezed states of light traveling through networked photonic chips, using error-correction techniques designed for continuous-variable photonic qubits rather than the discrete qubit encodings used in superconducting or trapped-ion approaches.
