Milan startup opens world-first production facility for glass-based quantum photonic chips

Quick Summary:

Founded in 2022, Ephos has developed a proprietary manufacturing process that enables it to move away from silicon and build photonic chips with glass substrates — the same material used in optical fibres.

NATO-backed Ephos announced today the opening of a production facility dedicated to glass-based quantum photonic chips — a world first, according to the startup.

These chips can power quantum applications in computing, sensing, and communications, as well as improve the performance of classical computing.
