An All-Optical computer for solving Hard Optimization Problems

Introduction

LightSolver is developing a new paradigm for computing. We have developed a revolutionary Laser Processing Unit (LPU) that outperforms traditional CPUs and GPUs in specific tasks, such as optimizing supply chains, designing new materials, and managing financial portfolios.

Technology Overview

This new LPU – Laser Processing Unit can process NP-hard problems orders of magnitude faster because it has no electronic gradients inside the processor. This LPU is small, the size of a desktop, operates under normal conditions, and consumes minimal power.

System Architecture

This full-stack unit includes three layers to provide the most accurate solution within the shortest time frame:

1. User interface
2. Operating system
3. Hybrid Hardware

Our proprietary hybrid solver combines an all-optical solver based on a pure laser processing unit (LPU) with a digital enhancement that increases the number of spins (variables) whilst decreasing the complexity of the problem.

Industry Applications

All industries will benefit from optimization problems, including:

• Government
• Healthcare
• Financial services
• Retail
• Manufacturing
• Energy and utilities
• Transportation and logistics
• And more

Asset optimization is gaining notable importance in the manufacturing and energy sectors due to the possibility of obtaining real-time data.

Competitive Advantages

LightSolver’s platform offers distinct advantages over competitors:

• Faster and more accurate solutions
• Cost-effective manufacturing and energy consumption
• Cloud accessibility and on-premises capability
• Unique assisting algorithms
• Scalability for complex problems
