Lightmatter is pioneering in the development of photonic computing technologies, aiming to leverage light for data processing instead of traditional electronic methods. This could potentially lead to significantly faster and more efficient computation, as optics allows for parallel processing on a scale that electronic systems cannot match. One of the aspirational goals of Lightmatter is to create practical optical transistors, which remain a significant barrier in the field. While there is excitement about the potential of photonic systems, the timeline for practical implementations of components like optical transistors is still uncertain, prompting questions from the community regarding advancements and product launches.
