According to Quantum visionary Bill Wisotsky from SAS, “Quantum computing will also advance in its hybrid development, with Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) being further integrated with CPUs, GPUs, and LPUs. QPUs will be employed for specialized problem classes or formulations.” At LightSolver, we’re firm believers that the future of HPC lies in this hybrid approach. By combining specialized processing units, data centers can solve diverse classes of problems with efficiency. Thank you, Bill, for highlighting the Laser Processing Unit (LPU) as a key technology for this new hybrid environment. We’re proud to be bringing this transformative technology to the world!

Our CTO and Co-Founder, Chene Tradonsky, recently shared his predictions for HPC and quantum computing in 2025 with The Quantum Insider. According to Chene, “In 2025, optical computing will make strides and give birth to a new generation of hybrid opto-electronical systems. Advances in spatial light modulators and photonic chip manufacturing will lay the foundation for the design of highly versatile, reconfigurable optical processors that can perform diverse computational tasks and take over workloads too challenging for electronic processors alone. By combining the best of both worlds into a hybrid system, we’ll see the emergence of highly efficient platforms in terms of speed, scalability and energy-efficiency.” He continues, “Despite the industry hype around the use of optical computing for AI computations, we anticipate faster implementation and innovation of the technology in the HPC field for complex simulations such as climate modeling and computer-aided engineering. The iterative nature of many of these computations gives optical processors a significant advantage as they can execute single calculations at a speed unrivaled by classical computers. For optical chips and systems to deliver their speed and energy-efficiency promise in AI, new methods and models must be developed and brought to maturity first, which could be a few years away.” Read the full article by Matt Swayne for more industry predictions: https://bit.ly/4gGCUK7 #opticalcomputing #HPC #innovation #quantumcomputing #analogcomputing

Ever stopped to think about why rainbows form? 🌈 When sunlight passes through water droplets in the atmosphere, it bends, reflects, and splits into individual colors, creating the vibrant spectrum we recognize as a rainbow. This interaction between light and water is a great example of how physics shapes the world around us. At LightSolver, we’re inspired by the incredible phenomena of light, both in nature and in technology. Whether you have a background in optics or just love learning something new, this video recommended by our CTO Chene Tradonsky is an enjoyable and informative watch! https://bit.ly/4gILHL0 #Optics #LightScience #PhysicsInNature #Rainbows #STEM
