Scintil Photonics secured $58M to scale integrated photonics for AI factories
Grenoble-based Scintil Photonics, a company developing integrated Photonic System-on-Chip (PSoC) solutions for AI infrastructure, has closed a $58 million Series B round. The funding will drive global hiring, accelerate production, and expand its international footprint as it launches the industry’s first single-chip DWDM light engine. Built on its proprietary SHIP™ (Scintil Heterogeneous Integration Photonics) process, Scintil’s technology integrates lasers, photodiodes, and modula…

More than half of industries are already shedding workers, a ‘telling’ sign that’s accompanied past recessions, top economist says
"Things could still turn around if the economic policies weighing on the economy soon lift. But that looks increasingly unlikely."

Diminished Sombor index and its relationship with topological indices
In this paper, we investigate the Diminished Sombor index (DSO), a recently introduced degree-based topological index for a simple graph $G$, defined as \[ DSO(G) = \sum_{uv \in E} \frac{\sqrt{d_u^2+d_v^2}}{d_u+d_v}, \] where $d_u$ denotes the degree of a vertex $u \in V$. We establish several sharp bounds for this index in terms of classical topological indices such as the Zagreb, Albertson, Harmonic, Randić, and geometric-arithmetic indices. The relationships and inequalities between DSO and…

Towards solving industrial integer linear programs with Decoded Quantum Interferometry
Optimization via decoded quantum interferometry (DQI) has recently gained a great deal of attention as a promising avenue for solving optimization problems using quantum computers. In this paper, we apply DQI to an industrial optimization problem in the automotive industry: the vehicle option-package pricing problem. Our main contributions are 1) formulating the industrial problem as an integer linear program (ILP), 2) converting the ILP into instances of max-XORSAT, and 3) developing a detaile…
