Breakthrough LPUs designed to compute at quantum-class speed using natural light instead of electrical signals to achieve quantum computer speeds
Set to outpace GPUs and QPUs (quantum processing units) with higher speed, efficiency, scale and sustainability
New York, NY, Oct. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Q/C Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: QCLS) (“Q/C” or “the Company”), a pioneer of quantum-class computing at the speed of light, today announced its collaboration with LightSolver, the inventor and owner of the quantum-class laser processing unit (LPU) technology. Through this collaboration, Q/C becomes the first client to adapt LightSolver’s proprietary LPU technology for quantum-class applications in the crypto domain, introducing the qc-LPU100™—a Q/C-branded implementation that harnesses the natural properties of light with the goal of achieving first-in-class computational speed and energy.
Joshua Silverman, Executive Chairman of Q/C Technologies, commented, “By working with LightSolver and leveraging their breakthrough LPU technology, our qc-LPUs will be designed to tackle critical challenges such as high energy consumption, scalability, and rising operational costs that impact profitability. For an ever-growing number of problems, we have demonstrated speeds up to 100x faster than state-of-the-art GPUs and even quantum computers with 1/100 the energy usage.
“We believe this disruptive technology can transform crypto mining for Decentralized Physical Instructure (DePin) tokens, and burgeoning AI companies that require high performance computing and use these DePin tokens for their computing needs, enhancing scalability, efficiency, and security. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and believe this quantum-class technology has the potential to drive long-term shareholder value.”
“LightSolver, the inventor and owner of the LPU, has demonstrated speeds up to 100x faster than GPUs in solving partial differential equations (PDEs), bridging the gap between today’s GPUs and not-yet-developed quantum computers,” said Q/C Senior Quantum Adviser, Steven Frankel.
LightSolver’s quantum-class LPUs are being developed to unlock what Q/C believes is an unprecedented modeling capacity to solve partial differential equations (PDEs)—the math that models how things change over time and space—at light speed. Traditional computers struggle with these problems because they take too much time and power. Traditional quantum models offer promise but still face major practical limitations. In contrast, LightSolver’s system uses light-powered lasers to both compute and store data in an effort to remove input/output bottlenecks and lowering memory bandwidth usage while enabling large-scale simulations.
“We are thrilled to be working with Q/C to adapt our groundbreaking technology to real world use cases in blockchain,” said Ruti Ben-Shlomi, PhD, CEO and co-founder of LightSolver. “Previously, standard LPUs were limited to optimization problems, but with our new approach, our system can handle larger, more complex simulations, with plans to scale to 100,000 variables by 2027 and one million by 2029. We believe that the Q/C-branded qc-LPU100s could become a game-changing model for many practical blockchain applications.”
