As AI and cloud workloads continue to grow exponentially, conventional electronic computing is reaching its physical limits. Optalysys integrates data movement and processing on a single chip, enabling immense computational power whilst reducing carbon footprint.
The company's programmable, high-density layer is designed for compute-intensive workloads, including GenAI and post-quantum algorithms. One key application is fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), which allows data to be processed securely while remaining encrypted - an increasingly important capability for secure cloud and enterprise computing.
imec.xpand II led Optalysys' Series A in 2023. This new financing further reinforces the company's position as a leader in optical computing. Expanding to the US is a natural next step, allowing the company to tap into the strong photonics ecosystem and the immense talent in Silicon Valley.
