Optical computing and logic circuits represent a transformative approach to information processing, utilising light rather than electrons to execute computational tasks. This paradigm leverages the ...

A new room-temperature quantum device developed at Stanford uses twisted light and advanced materials to link photons and ...

Artificial intelligence companies are spending billions on chips and infrastructure. Researchers think optical computing could help.

Want to call someone a quick-thinker? The easiest cliché for doing so is calling her a computer – in fact, “computers” was the literal job title of the “Hidden Figures” mathematicians who drove the ...

Machine learning and nanophotonics combine to enable fast, energy-efficient computing and sensing with potential for transformative AI-driven technologies. Fueled by metasurfaces and integrated ...

As fast as modern electronics have become, they could be much faster if their operations were based on light, rather than electricity. Fiber optic cables already transport information at the speed of ...

A nanophotonic diffractive network performs morphological image processing, including dilation and erosion, purely through light propagation.

A key problem facing artificial intelligence (AI) development is the vast amount of energy the technology requires, with some experts projecting AI datacenters to be responsible for over 13% of global ...

Addressing a major roadblock in next-generation photonic computing and signal processing systems, researchers in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have ...

A new technical paper titled “Advances in waveguide to waveguide couplers for 3D integrated photonic packaging” was published by researchers at MIT and Bridgewater State University. “In this paper, we ...
