Xanadu Quantum Technologies Achieves Record-Low Optical Switch Loss Using Lithium Niobate
Xanadu Quantum Technologies (XNDU), in partnership with HyperLight Corporation, has announced a significant technical milestone by achieving an optical switch insertion loss of just 7 millidecibels (mdB). This breakthrough was made possible through the application of thin-film lithium niobate technology. The new performance metric represents a nearly three-fold improvement over the company's previous benchmark of 20 mdB established in 2025. This advancement is expected to enhance efficiency within quantum computing architectures by reducing signal degradation during optical switching processes.
