Roadmap Target
NeuraWave commercial deployment 2026; TFLN photonic chip commercialization (POET collaboration; Luminar manufacturing)
Dirac-3 uses Entropy Quantum Computing (EQC): a photonic analog optimizer with 949 fully-interconnected variables (200 discrete qudit modes per variable, all-to-all) — not a gate-based quantum computer. Room temperature, <100 W, 5U rack-mount. Separate product line: NeuraWave, a photonic reservoir computing platform for edge AI inference (deployment-ready April 2026; up to 1.25B nodes/second). First commercial order: framework agreement with Planck Dynamics (June 2026) — initial purchase order for 5 NeuraWave systems, deployment pathway up to 100 systems (>$10M potential program value). NASA contract (Dec 2024) for radar image reconstruction using Dirac-3. Acquired Luminar Semiconductor ($110M, Q1 2026) for photonic component manufacturing; TFLN modulator collaboration with POET Technologies.
