Noor Photonics
Noor Photonics delivers programmable photonic processors as complete 2U rack instruments that integrate the chip, control electronics, and software into a single ready-to-run system. The Noor Twin AI model learns each individual processor's unique response, compensating for fabrication variations and hardware failures to maintain programmability. The Noor-Q 12 chip features 66 tunable interferometers and achieves 0.97 fidelity even with 8 of 56 controls switched off.

Problem
Programmable photonic processors typically arrive as bare silicon chips that require significant expertise and custom electronics to operate, making them inaccessible to most researchers. Additionally, chip-to-chip fabrication variations mean that identical designs behave differently, and hardware failures can render a processor unusable, limiting reliability and adoption in quantum photonics and AI applications.
Solution
Noor Photonics delivers programmable photonic processors as complete 2U rack instruments that integrate the chip, control electronics, and software into a single ready-to-run system. The Noor Twin, an AI model trained on each individual processor, learns the unique response of the chip and compensates for fabrication variations and hardware failures, maintaining programmability even when parts of the chip fail. The platform includes the Noor-Q processor family with universal meshes of tunable interferometers, the Koi control electronics with precision current drive and readback, and the MZIC Studio and Noor SDK for programming operations rather than voltages. This integrated approach enables researchers to run experiments from day one without building custom infrastructure.
Target Audience
Primary customers are researchers and laboratories in quantum photonics, AI/neuromorphic computing, and optical communications, as well as university teaching programs that need accessible programmable photonic platforms.
