Optalysys hardware beta program

Our Beta Program is now open

We harness the power of optics to do amazing things. We also work extensively with organisations who need that power.

We’re working to integrate our technology with the software libraries and hardware of tomorrow; if you want to be part of that process, our hardware beta program offers an opportunity to get started now.

What's included

The Optalysys beta program gives developers and organisations access to our beta hardware and software stacks, allowing users to gain hands-on experience with the advantages of Optalysys Etech.

No experience or understanding of optical computing is required, so you can begin testing, benchmarking and developing for Optalysys technology using standard software libraries.

simulators

Optical system simulators

Users on the beta program get free access to simulators that replicate the functionality of Etech and provide early benchmarks of performance and power consumption.

 

library

Libraries and interfaces

The optical simulators share the same software interface as beta hardware, allowing work developed on simulators to be deployed on beta hardware.
 
Supported languages include Python, C++ and Rust
 
hardwareaccess

Hardware access

Users can remotely access and submit jobs to real fast photonic chips, allowing full validation of Etech accuracy and performance in your application.
 
tutorials

Tutorials

Worked examples and guides for using all aspects of the Optalysys beta program are provided. We’re also expanding our tutorials to cover specialist developer knowledge for FHE.

How it works

Beta Program Timeline

Stage 1 • Open Now

Development tools, simulators and resources are now available.

Stage 2 • Coming Soon

Fast silicon-photonic beta chips (powered by discrete electronics) are in fabrication and will be available shortly, allowing beta participants to see and use the power of optics for themselves.
