Tynana LLC is a 2026-incorporated, two-founder quantum control infrastructure startup. We build the photonic + cryo-CMOS layer that lets quantum processors actually scale — not the qubits themselves.
"Every quantum platform — superconducting, ion-trap, spin, neutral-atom — runs into the same wall: too much room-temperature wiring, too much heat, too much latency. We remove that wall."
Tynana LLC was founded in 2026 by Bowen Liu (CTO), a mechanical engineer, and Peter Zhang (CEO), an attorney. We are pre-revenue, pre-product, and intentionally narrow: a single architectural bet that hybrid photonic distribution combined with cryo-CMOS local control is the right way to deliver pulses to thousands of qubits without melting the fridge or the cable budget.
We do not build qubits. We build the photonic + cryo-CMOS control layer that sits between the room-temperature host and any qubit modality.
Two chip tapeouts in six weeks across AIM Photonics (SiN) and GlobalFoundries 22nm FD-SOI (GF45SPCLO). No paper architectures.
Our hybrid stack targets superconducting transmons first, but the same primitives apply to trapped ions, neutral atoms, and silicon-spin qubits.
Pre-launch in 2026. Co-design conversations with academic groups and quantum-hardware teams; foundry collaborations with AIM Photonics and GF.
Most quantum-hardware companies are racing to add qubits. The wall they keep hitting is not qubits — it is the dense thicket of coax, attenuators, isolators, and amplifiers required to drive and read those qubits. Tynana attacks that wall directly with a hybrid photonic + cryo-CMOS architecture that replaces bulk RF cabling with a handful of optical fibers and moves last-millimeter pulse generation onto a CMOS chip a few millimeters from the qubit plane.
Pulse parameters travel from a room-temperature FPGA host as DWDM-encoded light on a single fiber. SiN waveguides at 4K demultiplex the channels and hand them to the electronic die.
A 22nm FD-SOI chip running below 4K decodes incoming bits, generates microwave pulses, captures readout signals, and runs sub-microsecond feedback loops next to the qubits.
The photonic and electronic dies are µbump-bonded at the package level — short electrical paths, no fragile fly-leads, manufacturable on existing tooling.
An 8-channel prototype targets roughly an order-of-magnitude reduction in coax cables compared to a conventional control rack at the same channel count.
Local control means measurement-conditioned operations close at the chip rather than at the rack. That is the regime where useful error correction lives.
Built on AIM Photonics SiN PDK and GlobalFoundries 22nm FD-SOI (GF45SPCLO). Both processes are commercially available — no exotic fabrication required.
The story Tynana tells is not a paper architecture. The cryo-CMOS controller die is wire-bonded onto a custom routing PCB, with the trace network fanning out to test instrumentation. This is the level of physical readiness the architecture has reached today — not a render, an actual board on the bench.
TYNANA is led by technologists and operators who combine deep quantum physics expertise with the commercial instincts to build a lasting company.
Peter leads commercial strategy, partnerships, and operations at Tynana. He owns customer discovery with quantum-hardware groups and runs fundraising, hiring, and the build-out of foundry and supplier relationships.
Bowen is the technical architect behind Tynana's hybrid photonic + cryo-CMOS control stack. He drove two foundry tapeouts in six weeks — one on AIM Photonics SiN, one on GlobalFoundries 22nm FD-SOI — and designs both the photonic integrated circuit and the cryo-CMOS ASIC.
