Increasingly complex applications such as artificial intelligence require ever more powerful and power-hungry computers to run. Optical computing is a proposed solution to increase speed and power ...

The idea of optical computing—the use of photons instead of electrons to perform computational operations—has been around for decades. However, interest has resurged in recent years; the potential for ...

In recent years, the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT) has driven a surge in computational demand. Traditional electronic computing, however, is approaching its ...

Quantum computing has spent years in the realm of lab demos and marketing decks, promising breakthroughs that never quite ...

Modern computer models -- for example for complex, potent AI applications -- push traditional digital computer processes to their limits. New types of computing architecture, which emulate the working ...

Illustration of the neuromorphic photonic lifelong learning. The photonic connections in each optical layer are gradually activated with different tasks. Photonic neurons only lighten when activated ...

Way, way back in the day, “computing” was the domain of analog circuits. No, they couldn’t add up columns of numbers, but they could solve complex differential and other equations, and did so fairly ...

Researchers harnessed the power of light to create a chip that could perform complex generative tasks with vastly improved energy efficiency Chinese scientists have unveiled an optical computing chip ...

A new architecture replaces traditional bottlenecks with a passive, single-shot light-speed operation that could become the foundational hardware for AGI, scientists argue. When you purchase through ...
