LightSolver develops a pure laser-based processing unit (LPU™) that uses all-optical coupled lasers to compute without electronics. The LPU is designed to outperform quantum and supercomputers while remaining as small as a traditional desktop, with scalability, low power requirements, and room-temperature operation. Target workloads include computer-assisted engineering (CAE), bio-science computations, and intractable optimization problems that the platform can accelerate. The company intends to use the EIC funds to advance commercialization and accelerate growth in the high-performance computing (HPC) sector. LightSolver was founded in 2020 and is based in Tel Aviv; it has secured investment from TAL Ventures, Entree Capital, IBI Tech Fund, and Angular Ventures.
