Integrated GeSi SPAD for Room-Temperature PQC
Quantum computing is stuck in the deep freeze. Artilux changes that. The Artilux PQC Platform is the world’s first fully integrated, room-temperature photonic quantum computing architecture. Built on proprietary GeSi photonics and a standard CMOS platform, it eliminates the need for massive cryogenic cooling. We are transforming quantum infrastructure from a laboratory experiment into a practical reality.
Making quantum scalability real
The Challenge
Conventional quantum computing requires temperatures colder than deep space — making deployment complex, massive, and expensive.
The Solution
Artilux smashes this barrier. By enabling single-photon detection at room temperature, we eliminate the cooling overhead to deliver a quantum architecture designed to scale.
The first fully integrated
RT PQC architecture
We integrate the entire quantum stack onto a single CMOS chip — unifying sources, circuits, and room-temperature GeSi SPAD detectors. By eliminating cryogenic cooling, ARTILUX delivers a practical, manufacturable architecture built to accelerate AI, HPC, and quantum networks.
Unifies the quantum stack on one platform, eliminating fragmented multi-technology systems.
Removes cryogenic cooling, cutting power, cost, and complexity.
Uses standard semiconductor processes for true scalability and mass production.
Reduces optical loss to deliver a streamlined architecture ready for future quantum infrastructure.
Room-temp ready: scalable, low-power, and highly versatile
- Significantly reduces the cost and complexity associated with cryogenic cooling systems.
- Improves device testing throughput and shortens the design iteration cycle.
- Reduces power consumption for large-scale deployments in data centers.
- Eliminates the need for helium, helping avoid the use of this limited resource.
