Q.ANT GmbH develops photonic computing technologies that perform processing with light, offering a scalable alternative to traditional transistor-based systems for complex workloads. Based in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, and founded in 2018 by Michael Förtsch, the company operates a pilot production line for thin-film lithium niobate chips in collaboration with IMS CHIPS. It ships its Native Processing Servers to selected partners, signaling a move toward commercial deployment of photonic processing. Its architecture provides analog co-processing power optimized for difficult computations, emphasizing energy-efficient performance for next-generation AI and high-performance computing workloads. In May 2026, Q.ANT announced a collaboration with IONOS to offer access to its Native Processing Server through IONOS' cloud infrastructure.
