Photonic chips work with light instead of electricity, are faster than conventional processors and consume less energy. Now they are tested at the Leibniz Computer Center in Garching. By Constanze Álvarez
Photonic processors are revolutionizing data centers by processing data with light instead of electrons. The Stuttgart-based company Q.ANT has launched the first commercial chips that dramatically accelerate AI training and reduce energy consumption.
Leibniz Supercomputing Centre Computes With Light: World’s First Photonic AI Processor From Q.ANT Goes Into Operation
Industry first deployment of Q.ANT’s photonic processor marks a pivotal step toward a new class of high-density, energy-efficient computing. For complex AI and scientific applications: LRZ is evaluating the performance of photonic acceleration on the Q.ANT Native Processing Server. Moving analog photonic computing to practical use positions Germany at the forefront of sustainable, post-CMOS computing. Stuttgart/Garching, Germany – July 22, 2025 …
World’s first AI photonic processor fires up
German photonic processor developer Q.ANT has delivered its Native Processing Server (NPS) to the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), marking the first integration of an analog photonic co-processor into an operational high-performance computing (HPC) environment. This is the first deployment that enables LRZ to evaluate photonic acceleration for artificial intelligence (AI) and simulation workloads with drastically […] The post World’s first A…
Artificial intelligence consumes enormous amounts of energy. Following last year's announcement, the German start-up Q.ANT is now testing photonic chips at the Leibniz Computing Center for the first time, which are 30 times more efficient than conventional processors...
