Encode
Incoming data is written onto the beam itself. From this point forward, nothing in the pipeline is electronic.
An AI processor that computes by interference instead of switching. The answer forms while the beam crosses the chip.
Incoming data is written onto the beam itself. From this point forward, nothing in the pipeline is electronic.
Beams cross. Where waves add and cancel, the result already exists. Nothing is computed — it arrives.
Light meets matter and becomes something that can push back. One beam blocks another. That is a decision, made without ever converting to electricity.
Bright beams bend the medium they travel through and carve their own channels. The chip reshapes itself around whatever it is currently doing.
The finished pattern is frozen into a crystal and read back indefinitely. Memory that holds its state with the power off.
The heavy math is passive, so there is almost nothing to cool. The one part that genuinely wears out is a module you pull from the front of the rack and replace in the field.
Every fabrication step this needs already runs in commercial foundries today. What's left is yield. We're looking for foundry partners, photonics engineers, and the first workload worth putting on it.
