GoKawiilPsiQuantum Unveils Optical Circuit Switch Based on Its Quantum Photonics Chips
PsiQuantum has revealed its first publicly disclosed Optical Circuit Switching device, an 8x8-radix demonstration built using the silicon photonics platform it originally developed for quantum computing. Lab testing showed 1.2 dB insertion loss, 40 dB crosstalk, and under 3 ms reconfiguration time without amplification, surpassing the company's initial targets. PsiQuantum is distributing samples to select prospective customers and plans to announce commercial products in coming months.
