Summary
Q/C Technologies shifted its headquarters from New York to San Francisco to speed development of its optical processing unit for AI inference.
A 4,800-square-foot integrated photonics lab will anchor the move, supporting R&D on optical chip architecture aimed at faster, more energy-efficient data movement.
Lumicity is helping recruit optical, semiconductor and systems engineers, and the company said it has already hired Bay Area specialists from IGP Photonics, Neurophos and IonQ.
The Nasdaq-listed company said the relocation brings it closer to AI, photonics and semiconductor talent as it pushes the photonic computing strategy unveiled in April.
Q/C is betting light-based computing can outperform conventional GPU-heavy approaches with higher clock speeds, greater bandwidth and lower power use for increasingly demanding AI workloads.
