Research questions

Domains for experiments, not promised outcomes.

The compiler and runtime can be used to formulate software experiments around photonic and hybrid computation. A domain appearing here is not evidence of acceleration, accuracy, energy reduction, deployment, or suitability.

Possible experiment domains

Scientific simulation

Represent numerical workloads and inspect compiler, runtime, and backend behavior.

Optimization

Describe constrained workloads and compare supported software backends under a recorded protocol.

Machine learning

Exercise declared Python framework integrations without inferring hardware performance.

Photonics interoperability

Explore typed boundaries between photonic program representations and external physical-design tools.
