01

Physics is the architecture.

QuantosLab is a physics-and-mathematics deep-tech lab. We build the governing physics directly into the hardware and the models, so a result is not asserted, it is measured. What we sell is the validated system: the model, and the prototype that proves it.

We design so that invalid states cannot form, correctness becomes a property of the material and the mathematics, not a correction layer bolted on top.

How we work

Theory first. Every product starts from a closed physico-mathematical model, not a fitted approximation.

Validated against reality. Models are checked against measured laboratory data before anything is claimed.

Delivered as model or prototype. We engage at the stage where the science is proven and the engineering is underway.

/ 01

Photonic compute

Heavy linear work runs in light; a thin digital layer handles only what light cannot.

/ 02

Spectral sensing

Gas-specific optical channels on a chip, replacing rooms of separate instruments.

/ 03

Biochemical prediction

Direct correlation between calculated and experimental data for in-vitro research.

Lumen: one fabric,
many machines.

Lumen is a reconfigurable photonic compute fabric. Like a general-purpose instruction set, the same hardware becomes a different machine depending on what you program into it, no rewiring, no refabrication. A coherent laser source and the optical signal chain are part of the fabric itself.

Four processors.
One fabric.

Each processor is Lumen, configured for a class of problem. All are in active development, share the same engineering investment, and advance together as the platform matures. Performance figures are engineering targets, not measured results.

Processors
Program 01 · In development // Powered by Lumen

Stochos

Probabilistic computing, in light.

A photonic engine for stochastic processes. Transition matrices, sampling, and optimisation problems are mapped natively onto the compute fabric, the heavy linear work runs in light, in parallel, without conventional clocking overhead.

Target applications

  • Finance trading, risk, fraud detection
  • Logistics supply-chain and routing optimisation
  • Pharma Monte-Carlo screening, dosing models
  • Neural networks training acceleration, inference scoring
Program 02 · In development // Powered by Lumen

Helix

A search-and-scoring engine for molecules.

A hybrid photonic co-processor for conformational search. Helix accelerates the part of the protein-folding problem where the search space is largest, generating, scoring, and ranking candidate structures, while a digital layer enforces chemistry and geometry.

Not a one-pass folder: a purpose-built optical engine for the search, with physics-grounded admissibility as a built-in check, not a post-hoc filter.

Target applications

  • Drug discovery conformational search, docking
  • Biotech R&D structure prediction acceleration
  • Pharma candidate screening at scale
  • Materials molecular dynamics scoring
Program 03 · In development // Powered by Lumen

Spectra

A chip-scale spectral front end.

A photonic sensing platform for multi-gas atmospheric monitoring. Spectra integrates gas-specific resonant channels and reference channels onto a single chip, designed to replace rooms of separate optical instruments with one compact array.

Target applications

  • Methane pipeline and wellhead leak detection
  • Transport NOₓ, CO, HCHO from vehicles
  • Power SO₂, NH₃ compliance and combustion control
  • Industrial H₂S, ammonia, ozone safety monitoring
Program 04 · In development // Powered by Lumen

Argus

Strike the swarm before it recomputes.

A photonic co-processor for counter-swarm defense. Argus models an incoming drone swarm as a distributed probabilistic network and computes the critical disruption point, the strike that cascades the whole swarm into collapse, in one optical tick, before it can recompute.

Target applications

  • Counter-UAS cascading collapse strikes on swarms
  • Naval point defense the critical kill in incoming salvos
  • Air defense pre-empting distributed strike coordination
  • Force protection collapsing swarms before penetration

Farma

Predict the experiment before you run it.

A computational platform for simulating biochemical in-vitro experiments. Farma predicts experimental data directly from the physics of molecular interaction, replacing verification and intermediate laboratory runs with calculation.

Its defining feature is direct visual correlation between calculated and measured data. Tested in real biochemical solutions, correlation reaches up to R = 0.93, cutting the number of physical experiments needed from about ten down to three or four.

Validated for

  • Protein stability full spectrum of thermodynamic parameters
  • Binding affinity antibody–antigen KD prediction
  • Mutation studies screening candidate substitutions
  • Pharma R&D reducing in-vitro burden and cost

Phôs: the physics of
light in living matter.

Phôs is our light platform: a closed mathematical model of how laser radiation interacts with heterogeneous biological and scattering media. Where Lumen is a fabric for processors, Phôs is a fabric for new kinds of lasers, each application is the same electrodynamic theory, solved for a different medium and a different goal.

Augḗ

Read glucose from light. No needle.

A non-invasive optical method for estimating blood glucose. A laser beam reflects from multilayer skin; glucose shifts the optical constants of the blood-vessel layer, and the concentration is reconstructed from the full two-dimensional pattern of the reflected beam, not from a single brightness value.

In synthetic validation the method recovers concentration with about 1.16% error at a test point and a mean absolute error near 0.31 mmol/L. This is a physics-based feasibility model, not a clinically validated device.

Target applications

  • Continuous monitoring needle-free glucose tracking
  • Diabetes screening low-burden optical measurement
  • Wearables research compact reflective sensing
  • Phantom validation calibrated tissue-model testing
Powered by Phôs · In development // Field control

Horismós

Draw a boundary in open air.

A laser lattice that projects a controllable optical and plasma field into a region of open air. It does not act as a physical wall: instead, the charged fraction of a gas or aerosol cloud responds to the slow electric and magnetic field, reducing the cloud's spread and the outward flux across a defined region.

The model treats this as managed localisation of a mostly-neutral cloud, not full ionisation and not absolute containment, and tests mathematically how much the outward flux can be reduced.

Target applications

  • Aerosol containment limiting spread of particle clouds
  • Plume mitigation reducing outward flux of hazardous gas
  • Atmospheric experiments controlled localisation studies
  • Field modelling optical–plasma steering research
