What our data shows

Our data on Aeluma tells a pretty exciting story for a small company. The headline: the U.S. government just handed them over $4 million in contracts to develop their light-based chip technology for quantum communication and AI data centers — that's real validation from a serious customer. We tag Aeluma under four of the hottest themes in tech right now: quantum computing, AI infrastructure, defense, and robotics. The catalysts we're watching are straightforward — if a major cloud giant like AWS or Google signs on, or if Aeluma proves it can actually manufacture these chips at scale, that would be a big deal. The risk worth knowing: traditional silicon chips keep getting better, and if they get good enough, the whole case for light-based chips gets harder to make.

The takeaway

Neutral

Aeluma is a high-risk, high-upside bet on the idea that light will replace electricity inside tomorrow's AI machines — the single most important thing to watch is whether a major tech company steps up as a real customer.

But watch out
Silicon and custom chip improvements may satisfy AI compute needs, reducing photonic advantage.
