Xanadu (Xanadu Quantum Technologies Inc.) is a prominent photonic quantum computing enterprise headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Founded in 2016 by CEO Christian Weedbrook, the venture has raised over $250 million from prominent investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, Capricorn Investment Group, and Real Ventures, alongside major government backing from Canada and DARPA.
Headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Q-Block (Q-Block Computing Inc.) is a quantum technology and hardware company specializing in modular, portable quantum infrastructure across timing, networking, and computation. Founded to transition complex, room-sized quantum optics systems out of specialized laboratories and into rugged, field-deployable environments, the company develops hardware engineered for critical infrastructure, defense, national security, and high-performance computing (HPC).
24 of the 30 roles here state no citizenship or security-check demand. A role that does - export-controlled quantum hardware and cryptography work often does - says so in its advert, and the card marks it.
Which quantum companies hire most?
Xanadu (17), Q-Block (8), Photonic Inc. (3), Anyon Systems (1), Nord Quantique (1).
Which employers count as quantum companies?
Companies whose main business is quantum technology - quantum computer makers (superconducting, trapped-ion, neutral-atom, photonic, spin qubits), quantum software and algorithm companies, quantum sensing and communication, and the makers of their control electronics, lasers and cryogenics - and every role whose title names quantum work at any employer.
How fresh is this?
Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
