Q-Memory: Room-Temperature Photonic Quantum Processor for AI Acceleration & Quantum Computing
CEO/Co-Founder at Q-Memory Limited
London, United Kingdom
About
Q-Memory builds photonic quantum processors that run at room temperature — delivering programmable quantum computing, AI matrix acceleration at the speed of light, quantum-secure communications, and Quantum Reservoir Computing for ML inference at 95–99% accuracy with no fault tolerance required.
We are the only quantum company with three independent near-term revenue streams from a single chip architecture, none of which require fault-tolerant quantum advantage to generate revenue.
The Problem
-
Quantum computers need a €1M+ refrigerator cooled to −273°C before a single computation runs, limiting scale to ~100 qubits
-
A 10B-parameter AI model serving cluster burns 2 MW non-stop — equal to powering 2,000 homes — just to process queries
-
No portable quantum product exists anywhere in the market; every system requires a specialist facility and months of lead time
-
Quantum startups have no near-term revenue, all betting on a fault-tolerant advantage that may be years away
Our Solution — One Chip, Three Revenue Streams
-
Room temperature operation — our photonic chip runs at room temperature; only the detector needs cooling (~€80K). SiN waveguide loss is 400x better than silicon
-
AI Acceleration — a 64-mode MZI mesh performs optical matrix multiply at the speed of light, matching GPU cluster throughput at 100x less energy (40 kW vs 2 MW)
-
Quantum ML with no fault tolerance — Quantum Reservoir Computing on Phase 2 hardware delivers >95% accuracy on time-series tasks, deployable immediately
-
Quantum-secure communications — on-chip QKD demonstrated beyond the PLOB repeaterless bound at 370 km of fibre
-
Standard CMOS foundry — built on LioniX TriPleX MPW and IMEC processes, no proprietary process or exclusivity lock-in
Technology & Validation
-
Pre-validated by GDSFactory, Perceval and SAX simulation — all scripts PASS
-
99.995% Clements decomposition fidelity, 100% HOM visibility, 40 dB MZI extinction ratio
-
MPW tape-out booked with LioniX (Q4 2026)
Market
-
$500B total addressable market by 2035 (quantum computing + AI acceleration + optical compute + QKD)
-
$50B serviceable addressable market by 2030
-
Demand pull from hyperscalers (Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta), hitting power-efficiency limits in AI data centres
