Toronto-based Xanadu has launched a research collaboration with Lockheed Martin to advance foundational theory and applications in quantum machine learning (QML). The initiative will focus on quantum-enabled generative models, exploring whether quantum computers can perform Fourier-based operations inaccessible to classical machine learning. The partners aim to address data-scarce environments in sectors such as defense, finance, and pharmaceuticals.
Xanadu CEO Christian Weedbrook said the work seeks to rethink how quantum systems represent and process data. Lockheed Martin described the partnership as part of its broader exploration of transformative quantum technologies.
