About
LightSolver has successfully harnessed the unique physical properties of light to develop and build the first pure laser-based processing unit (LPU), an innovative computing method that is poised to outpace and outperform quantum and supercomputers. It utilizes all-optical coupled lasers that require no electronics to compute, enabling it to be assmall as a traditional desktop computer while offering unrivaled scalability, low power requirements, and room temperature operation. Our design partners in the finance, logistics, manufacturing, and aerospace industry are using LightSolver to tackle NP-hard optimization problems.
