Ruti Ben-Shlomi
Ruti Ben-Shlomi, PhD, is a physicist and the CEO and co-founder of LightSolver. Ruti founded LightSolver with Dr. Chene Tradonsky in 2020 after inventing the first pure laser-based processing unit (LPU), a new paradigm for computing that uses all-optical coupled lasers to provide solutions to optimization problems previously considered unsolvable once they exceed a certain number of variables. This laser-based supercomputer is poised to outpace and outperform quantum and supercomputers.
Prior to LightSolver, Ruti received her PhD in quantum and atomic/molecular physics in 2019 from the renowned Weizmann Institute of Science. As part of her PhD she built ultra-cold atom and cold ion systems for studying unique quantum signatures typical for ultra-cold collisions. These systems serve as platforms for atomic clocks and quantum computers. In 2011, she received her MSc in physics from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev after designing and building an ultracold atoms system from scratch. Between degrees, Ruti served as a process engineer for Intel.

Overcoming the Limitations of Classical HPC and Quantum: A New Computational Method - High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC
By Ruti Ben-Shlomi, CEO and Co-founder, LightSolver There’s a lot of excitement around exascale-class supercomputing and the possibilities of quantum computing, but there’s an emerging alternative advanced computing paradigm that transcends the limits of classical HPC and is more practical than quantum computing for complex, multivariable problems. Called the laser-based processing unit (LPU), this entrant […]
