About
Source: aeponyx.comAEPONYX states that, “Building on a foundation of Silicon Nitride, we integrate planar MEMS and switching technology to create compelling photonics products.” It says the combination of precise waveguides, hybrid integration capabilities and integrated MEMS and optical switches “makes this the superior foundation across a range of applications”, giving customers products that are “extremely small, fast, and energy efficient”. The company adds that its “full-stack Photonic Integrated Circuit capabilities provides you with a simplified and faster path to product.”
Acquired by French quantum computing company Pasqal in June 2025 to accelerate its fault-tolerant roadmap; terms were not disclosed. Now Pasqal's Canadian subsidiary. pasqal.com
With Pasqal, launched a photonic-integrated-circuit packaging centre of competency at C2MI in Bromont, QC - a $7.9M project with $4M in federal and provincial funding (July 2026). pasqal.com
