Photonic Inc. wins 2026 iF DESIGN AWARD for silicon spin qubit quantum computer industrial design

Vancouver-based Photonic Inc. received a 2026 iF DESIGN AWARD in the Quantum Computer category for its modular, scalable quantum computer design based on optically-linked silicon spin qubits with an 'Entanglement First' architecture. Selected from 10,000+ submissions from 68 countries judged by 129 experts, the design features a grid-based layout with standardized, interchangeable components for flexible configurations and incremental scaling. The system is designed to integrate into existing data center hybrid compute fabrics (CPUs, GPUs, QPUs) via standard telecom fiber. Photonic is developing large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers.
