Quanfluence
Quanfluence is pursuing continuous-variable photonic quantum computing while offering a nearer-term coherent Ising machine for optimization. The current optimizer combines electronic matrix operations with optical nonlinearities to search QUBO solutions. This creates an accessible experimentation path, but the company explicitly describes that offering as quantum-inspired and its general-purpose photonic computer as a development objective. Based in Bengaluru, India.

What remains unresolved
Optimizer variable counts are not programmable quantum-qubit counts. Classical benchmarking and full time-to-solution are required to establish value for a specific problem.
The next question to watch
Demonstrate programmable photonic quantum operations beyond the optimizer product.
