Are You Struggling with PIC Fabrication?
Painfully slow turnaround times consume runway and prevent fast R&D cycles.
Rigid processes often only support a single film thickness and waveguide material, limiting innovation.
Large batch requirements lead to wasted product and lost time while prohibiting experimentation.
QPICs: Fast & Flexible Fabrication of Photonic Integrated Circuits
Our vision is to enable photonics developers to shrink their entire optical setup down to chip scale through a process that’s as easy as designing a printed circuit board.
This is transformative in the quantum industry, where many devices rely on PICs to reduce size and provide robust operation.
Our innovation centers around operational excellence and advanced manufacturing. This enables us to offer unprecedented customizability with industry-leading
turnaround times to address the PIC fabrication
bottleneck holding back the quantum industry.
These are the chips you need to power your quantum
tech.
These are QPICs.
