QANT photonics accelerator does FP16.
Multiplies and adds aren’t converted to microinstructions, but they just happen in one element.
Photonics does the actual math cmos emulates.
And the companies building the best chips are European.. You don’t need 3nm foundries to build these.
You wanted a European technological revolution. Here it is. Now don’t fuck this up @EUCommission
Photonic chips are real, not a dream. A startup in Europe is already making prototype GPU’s with them. Comes with a SPIR-V compiler.
"A single beam of light runs AI with supercomputer power"
Their method allows complex tensor calculations to be completed within a single movement of light through an optical system. The process, described as single-shot tensor computing, functions at the speed of light. Performance stats were amazing compared to NVidia A100 GPU.

UK-based Nu Quantum just raised $60M to build a real quantum network — a down-to-earth engineering story about connecting small quantum systems instead of chasing one “ultimate” machine.
It’s practical, photonics-driven, and a genuine milestone for European deep tech.

Sparrow Quantum has raised €27.5M, the largest quantum-tech investment in Scandinavia.
A significant step for Europe’s quantum hardware supply chain — and for photonic quantum computing.
The company wants to become “the Intel of quantum photonics” — supplying the essential chips to build quantum computers, secure communication networks, and next-generation quantum sensors.

#Photonics researchers are rethinking how we keep things cool. ❄️ Radiative cooling uses reflective materials to send heat into space, no electricity needed. These coatings could help cool buildings and even generate power at night.💡 Read more in #PhotonicsFocus: https://bit.ly/47OsKUp
China leads in photonics. USA only leads in finance.
There is a deep irony here:
- US is developing technologies that unlock a a totally centralised and controlled model of AI applications.
- China is developing technologies that unlock edge computing and distributed models of AI applications.
Why NVidia stock is down, was probably this announcement: Chinese ChipX claims to already be able to mass-produce photonic hybrid chips. NVidia is behind in this technology.
