WASHINGTON -- Researchers have shown that it is possible to train artificial neural networks directly on an optical chip. The significant breakthrough demonstrates that an optical circuit can perform ...

A new showcase for optical networking technology is beginning to light up, offering a test bed for research that could help spark a fire under the moribund industry. The National LambdaRail (NLR) ...

Object recognition through random scattering media has been an important but challenging task in many fields, such as biomedical imaging, oceanography, security, robotics, and autonomous driving.

Researchers demonstrate a way to improve quantum key distribution over fiber networks. Beneath many cities are complex networks of optical fibres that carry data, encoded in pulses of light, to ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has experienced a revival of pretty large proportions in the last decade. We’ve gone from AI being mostly useless to letting it ruin our lives in obscure and opaque ways.

Microsoft has revealed it has collaborated with Ciena to define a blueprint for what it calls a zero-trust tiered optical network architecture. In a white paper explaining the nature of the ...
