We’re a dynamic group of scientists, engineers, and problem solvers.
Why We’re Doing This
At Lightmatter, we aim to accelerate human advancement through computing.
Progress in many fields is inextricably linked to the continued advancement of computational power. And while computational power has grown exponentially for decades, fundamental limits to continued scaling threaten to slow progress.
