#xanadu — Public Fediverse posts

Canadian start up Xanadu (founded in 2016) went IPO via SPAC (Mar 27) on the Nasdaq and TSX stock exchanges under the ticker symbol "XNDU".

Xanadu is building photonics-based quantum computing systems and claims its approach can leverage existing modern chip manufacturing facilities and optical components like fibre optics. https://www.xanadu.ai/press/xanadu-becomes-first-pure-play-photonic-quantum-computing-company-to-go-public #Quantum #QuantumComputing #Xanadu #TSX #NASDAQ #IPO #Photonics #SPAC #Optics #FibreOptics

‘The Magical Place of Literary Memory™: Xanadu’
Belinda Barnet
Screening the Past, 20 Dec 2014

Then all the charm
Is broken-all that phantom world so fair,
Vanishes and a thousand circlets spread,
And each mis-shape the other

(Coleridge, cited by Ted Nelson, ‘Dream Machines’, p. 142)

On Hitfall, Xanadu, and New Year’s Day

I have a tradition I do whenever I leave a tournament. Doesn’t have to be one that I ran myself, necessarily. It could be any tournament. Sometimes I forget to do it.

My latest game review is for Xanadu Next, a bit of an old school ARPG that was solid throughout.

Basement Brothers Xanatalks About Xanadu
Falcom is possibly the greatest Japanese game publisher that's barely known in the US. Recently Ys sequels have changed this a bit, but their earlier titles are still a hole in the knowledge of even some Western RPG fanatics. At least, I never had much of a chance to learn abou

Xanadu is a very strange film! Just got into a Don Bluth animated sequence. And the music is very varied. But overall enjoying! Though I really must stop thinking Brigadoon when I see Gene Kelly.
