Objective

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. 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 as a desktop size, operates at normal conditions, and consumes minimal power. This full-stack unit includes three layers to provide the most accurate solution within the shortest time frame: a user interface, an operating system and 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. 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 LightSolvers platform offers distinct advantages from competitors: Faster and More Accurate SolutionsCost-Effective Manufacturing and Energy ConsumptionCloud Accessibility and On-Premises CapabilityUnique Assisting AlgorithmsScalability for Complex Problems
