Ephos

Photonics is creating a faster, more energy-efficient computational infrastructure - from today's data centers to tomorrow's quantum computers.  At Ephos, we're leading the development of scalable glass-based photonic technologies, and we're thrilled that The Wall Street Journal took notice! https://lnkd.in/eWD8SjG9 None of this would be possible without our customers, investors, and partners. Special thanks to Quandela and NATO DIANA for your continued trust and support! #technology #innovation #chips #photonics #AI #quantum

There's time to build and there's time to tell the world what you have built. This week we overdid it with the telling! 🌍 ➡ Andrea was at the Forbes CIO Summit in New York 🇺🇸 ➡ Giacomo at the Optica 2024 Quantum Industry Summit in Bristol 🇬🇧 ➡ Francesco at the Single Photon Workshop in Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ➡ Roberto at the European Quantum Technologies Conference in Lisbon 🇵🇹 Now back to our fab - enough talking, more building! 🔧 #Photonics #QuantumTechnology #Innovation #Tech #QuantumComputing

There's no future for quantum technologies without low-loss integrated photonic circuits. Building these is precisely what Ephos specializes in. Our circuits are now part of a new EU-backed consortium focused on exploiting the full 3D capabilities of our technology to build a special-purpose photonic quantum computer. We're thrilled to partner with some of the leading organizations in quantum computing, including Unitary Fund, Pixel Photonics, and Sapienza Università di Roma! The consortium is also joined by Politecnico di Milano, CNRS, University of Montpellier, and SCHOTT!

'Computational infrastructure, as we know by the huge revenues reaped by companies like Nvidia and the large bills that big foundational AI companies rack up for training and running models, is under stress. But it’s not just AI. New innovations like quantum computing are also putting pressure on the hardware we have today. In the U.S. alone, Andrea Rocchetto said, about 9% of the energy generated in the U.S. will be used for running data centers, so the demand is to get them to be faster and more efficient. “Photonics and quantum computing can both answer those needs,” he said.'

🚀 Exciting Milestone for Ephos! 🚀 We're thrilled to announce that Ephos has raised $8.5M and opened the world’s first facility dedicated to the design and production of glass-based quantum photonic chips! Our proprietary technology will play a critical role in accelerating advancements in quantum computing, AI, and data centres. The seed round was led by Starlight Ventures, with participation from Collaborative Fund, Exor Ventures, 2100 Ventures, and Unruly Capital. Additionally, we are proudly supported by NATO DIANA and the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) in our mission to transform the future of computing. Today, to meet growing customer demand, we are opening a new fabrication facility in MIND Milano Innovation District, one of Europe’s most ambitious technology hubs. This plant will accelerate our mission to power quantum and classical infrastructure, more efficiently and securely. Our chips are built entirely in-house and our supply chain relies exclusively on US and EU suppliers. This funding round will also help us to expand our presence in the United States, scaling our team in San Francisco. In other words: we are hiring! None of this would be possible without our exceptional team, investors, and advisors, including Joe Zadeh, Diego Piacentini, Simone Severini, and Alec Ross. We are just getting started 🚀 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eQhBXDH4 #QuantumComputing #AI #Innovation #DeepTech #Chips #Photonics #Technology #Ephos
