TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Israeli start-upย LightSolver, inventor of a new laser-based computing paradigm, today announced that Senior Algorithmics Researcher Dr. Dani Gluck will speak at Quantum Algorithms and Optimization in Athens, taking place December 15-17 in Athens, Greece. Dr. Gluck will present โA Quantum-inspired, Laser-based Computing Paradigm for Optimization and Simulationโ on December 17 at 16:00 EET.
| WHO: | Dani Gluck, PhD is Senior Algorithmics Researcher for LightSolver, conducting algorithm development and related mathematical and theoretical-physical research for the companyโs proprietary Laser Processing Unitโข (LPU). Dr. Gluck holds a doctorate in theoretical physics and has extensive experience in computer vision and algorithmics. |

| WHAT: | Dr. Gluck will present โA Quantum-inspired, Laser-based Computing Paradigm for Optimization and Simulation,โ showcasing LightSolverโs physics-based analog computing system, which performs computation through the collective dynamics of interacting lasers in a programmable optical resonator. This quantum-inspired platform supports multiple optimization classes, including QUBO/Ising, XY spin models, and continuous or discrete-variable problems, and can also perform physical simulations such as PDEs by mapping differential operators and boundary conditions onto the coupled-laser network. He will outline the underlying model, explain how various problem types are embedded in the laser dynamics, and share experimental and simulation results for representative optimization and PDE-solving tasks, concluding with future directions such as expanded model families, larger arrays, and hybrid analogโdigital workflows. |

| WHEN: | Wednesday, December 17, 2025 16:00 EET |
| ย | ย |
| WHY: | Fields like climate modeling, materials discovery, and energy infrastructure urgently need faster and more efficient ways to conduct scientific and engineering simulations. LightSolverโs LPU is a fundamentally new analog optical processor that leverages the natural dynamics of coupled lasers to perform fast, parallel computations. By co-locating memory and compute, the LPU avoids the memory bandwidth bottlenecks and energy inefficiency of traditional digital computers, enabling the rapid simulation of complex, structured problems. |
