Q.ANT has been named as a Sample Vendor twice in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Deep Technologies 2024 report for Photonic Computing and Quantum Sensors, once in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Compute 2024 report for Photonic Computing and once in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Defense 2024 report for Quantum Sensors. We provide exclusive access to the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Deep Technologies 2024 report.
“When new technologies make bold promises, how to discern the hype from what’s commercially viable? And when will such claims pay off, if at all? The Gartner® Hype Cycle™ provides a graphic representation of the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems and exploiting new opportunities.
Gartner® Hype Cycle™ methodology gives you a view of how a technology or application will evolve over time, providing a sound source of insight to manage its deployment within the context of your specific business goals.”

Q.ANT’s photonic chips and processors address the escalating computational and energy demands in AI, HPC, and Next-Generation Computing.
By harnessing light’s native, inherent parallelism, we can access additional photonic dimensions, transcending 2-dimensional electronic grids. This approach, termed ‘Native Computing,’ is poised to redefine computing boundaries, enabling energy-efficient AI applications currently beyond reach.
Native Computing promises to revolutionize the field, offering both performance gains and enhanced energy efficiency.
According to Gartner “Quantum sensors are capable of providing highly accurate information, which helps this technology gain traction. Examples include accelerometers, gyroscopes, gravimeters, magnetometers and random number generators.”
Due to its “improved sensitivity and precision”, Gartner sees various fields benefitting from quantum sensors “such as medical and healthcare, industrial applications, aerospace and defense applications,” as well as to “improve GPS-denied navigation […] to enhance earth observations”.
