This acquisition marks a strategic pivot for CollPlant into the quantum-inspired photonic computing sector, leveraging optical systems to solve high-complexity problems without cryogenic constraints. By positioning its Laser Processing Unit as a complementary layer to traditional CPUs and GPUs, the technology targets specific bottlenecks in scientific simulation and optimization that current silicon-based architectures struggle with. The deal underscores a growing industry trend toward hybrid computing models that aim to deliver quantum-like parallelism for practical commercial deployment by 2028.
CollPlant buys LightSolver, enters quantum photonic computing race

CollPlant acquires LightSolver, entering the supercomputing & photonic computing markets with its Laser Processing Unit (LPU).
CollPlant is acquiring LightSolver, an Israeli company that has developed the Laser Processing Unit (LPU), a computing platform combining classical and supercomputing advantages without requiring extreme conditions. LightSolver’s LPU uses the interaction of lasers to perform computation, designed to accelerate large-scale simulations and optimization across industries, the company says. Commercial validation…
