Lightmatter photonic computing hardware

Lightmatter is a photonic (super)computer company. Lightmatter’s processors use photonic circuits that perform calculations by manipulating the path of light instead of using charge, logic gates and transistors like conventional processors. This makes them faster, more efficient, and cooler than anything else on earth.

The industrial design language for the hardware is based on the geometry of the light guides that create optical interference at the heart of Lightmatter's processors. The pattern is instantly recognisable and is built from the same lines and curvature used in the identity. This Lightmatter interference pattern is able to scale easily to different form factors. The Lightmatter logo is applied to each product with holographic film, symbolising light at the heart of each device.
