Photonics in Focus: Our Feature on SWR Aktuell

Happy New Year! 🎉
We are back and starting the new year with fresh energy – and would like to take this opportunity to highlight a very special feature from the end of the year on SWR Aktuell News.
Definitely worth watching! 🎥

From minute 15:05, our Institute Director Prof. Dr. Niels Quack talks about the visionary AI chips of our customer Q.ANT. At the heart of the discussion is photonics as an energy-efficient, high-performance and truly disruptive key technology.

Prof. Dr. Quack puts it in a nutshell: It is about months rather than years – about maintaining the technological lead we have built together with Q.ANT and delivering to the market at scale.

With clear and concise statements, he provides important impulses for the future of photonics and highlights the enormous potential this technology holds for the next generation of AI applications.

A feature that not only looks back, but clearly points forward – and compellingly shows where the journey is heading in 2026.
