Martin Shkreli's Investment: Martin Shkreli has made a strategic investment in Q/C Technologies Inc. (QCLS), setting a price target of $100, and believes that the future of high-performance computing lies in photonics rather than quantum mechanics.
Microsoft's Research Influence: Shkreli's investment is supported by a Microsoft study on an Analog Optical Computer (AOC) that demonstrates significant efficiency gains for AI tasks, suggesting a shift towards optical computing in the next 5-10 years.
Technological Advancements: The AOC combines analog electronics and 3D optics to solve complex problems, achieving over 100 times the efficiency of current GPUs by avoiding energy-intensive digital conversions.
QCLS Stock Performance: Despite a recent rise in stock price, QCLS has experienced a significant decline of nearly 96% year-to-date, indicating ongoing challenges in its market performance.
Q/C Technologies, Inc., formerly TNF Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is focused on blockchain infrastructure. The Company, through a licensing agreement with LightSolver, holds rights to the use of quantum-inspired laser-based processing units (LPUs) that solve compute-intensive combinatorial and physical problems at the speed of light. The Company bridges a disruptive computing paradigm for high-speed photonic computing with cryptocurrency infrastructure development at scale, enabling performance and sustainability for blockchain applications. Lightsolver’s architecture is designed to improve security for blockchain operations for the cryptocurrency industry.
