For over 70 years, computing has been powered by electrons. But Moore’s Law — the idea that chips get faster and cheaper every two years — is dead. Electrons are now limited by physics.

Silicon-based systems can no longer keep pace with the rising demands of AI, blockchain, simulation, and quantum workloads. More compute today means more heat, more energy, and more cost — with smaller returns.

Photonics changes everything.

By using light instead of electricity, photonic computing achieves:

• Speed: Logic operations in femtoseconds
• Efficiency: 90% less energy use
• Scalability: Exponential, not incremental

This is not a performance boost. It’s a platform shift.

The era of photonic computing has begun. The first clusters go live in 2026 — and this is the window where visionary members can help build and own the future.
