Akhetonics develops all-optical, reconfigurable processing units that can function as quantum computers, analog processors, and digital processors. The company claims a 60x improvement in energy efficiency, and says the technology can be manufactured using legacy 90-250nm semiconductor nodes. Its focus is on general-purpose optical processors with quantum computing capabilities.
In November 2024, Akhetonics raised €6 million in seed funding led by Matterwave Ventures, bringing total funding to €8.3M including an earlier €2.3M raise, to advance its cross-domain optical processor technology. The company is also participating in the SPOC project with Fraunhofer IZM, backed by €400K in funding from IBB for 2024-2026, to advance photonic computing.
