AI-Powered Design for Quantum Photonics

Physics-Driven Design for Quantum Photonics

Transform photonic device requirements into fabrication-ready chip designs using AI-assisted workflows.

How it works

From requirement to tape-out in four steps

Step 01

Define Requirements

Describe your device in plain language or structured fields - wavelength, platform, objective.

Step 02

AI Design Assistant

The AI engine translates intent into a validated, structured photonic design specification.

Step 03

Photonic Layout Generation

gdsfactory synthesizes real chip geometry with an interactive SVG preview.

Step 04

Export Manufacturing Files

Download fabrication-ready GDSII, SVG, JSON, and an engineering report.

Supported components

The building blocks of photonic circuits

Beam Splitter

Available

Directional 1×2 power splitter

Splits an input mode into two outputs at a configurable ratio. The workhorse of interferometric quantum photonic circuits.

Waveguide

Available

Single-mode routing element

Low-loss channel that confines and routes light across the chip. The foundation every other component connects to.

Directional Coupler

Available

Evanescent 2×2 coupler

Two waveguides brought close so light couples between them - the basis for tunable splitting and switching.

Grating Coupler

Available

Fiber-to-chip interface

Diffractive grating that couples light between an optical fiber and an on-chip waveguide for I/O.

Mach-Zehnder Interferometer

Available

Tunable interferometric switch

Two splitters bridged by two arms - the programmable unit cell of quantum photonic processors.

Benefits

An AI-native photonic design platform

Faster Design Iteration

Go from requirement to layout in seconds, compressing days of manual CAD work.

AI-Assisted Engineering

An intelligence layer that recommends parameters and writes your engineering summaries.

Fabrication-Ready Outputs

Standards-compliant GDSII streams that drop straight into your tape-out flow.

Quantum Hardware Focused

Built around the interferometric building blocks of quantum photonic processors.
