AI changes the world. With its rise, energy resources and processing power reach their limits. Q.ANT’s Native Computing happens in the photonic realm. Our Processors natively implement efficient matrix-vector multiplications, the central operation in deep neural networks.
Native Sensing uses light as the natural read-out medium to achieve the highest data quality for subsequent integrated signal analysis and processing. Q.ANT’s magnetometer closes the gap between technology and humanity with a new kind of human-machine-interface. The atomic gyroscope brings navigation to new hights.
Step into the future of computing and witness our Native Processing Unit (NPU) at work. Our video demo reveals our first cloud-deployed photonic processor tackling a real-world AI task. Watch as light powers through complex calculations paving the way for energy-efficient AI in data centers.
We provide complimentary access to the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Data Center Infrastructure Technologies 2025 report. Learn how Photonic Computing can enable energy efficient data centers in a future of rising AI and HPC.
Our photonic Para.Digm technology framework nurtures disruptive applications helping industries evolve. Imagine a world where light powers the next generation of computing and AI and connects humans seamlessly with the digital world.
