Computers that use light instead of circuits to run calculations may sound like a plot point from a Star Trek episode, but researchers have been working on this novel approach to computing for years.

Optical quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize computation, tackling problems that continue to be intractable for even the most advanced classical supercomputers. While this ...

As the race for more powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tools accelerates, China is placing major bets on optical computer chips to overcome the speed and energy limits of traditional electronic ...

Abstract: Optical fiber communications and networks constituting the backbone of Internet infrastructure have been continuing evolving technologically and architecturally to meet the explosive traffic ...

Researchers develop ultra-fine 3D printing tech for vertical nanolasers, enabling high-density optical chips for AI, AR displays, and secure communications. (Nanowerk News) In future high-tech ...

Researchers at Tsinghua University developed the Optical Feature Extraction Engine (OFE2), an optical engine that processes data at 12.5 GHz using light rather than electricity. Its integrated ...

Time is almost up on the way we track each second of the day, with optical atomic clocks set to redefine the way the world measures one second in the near future. Researchers from Adelaide University ...

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 ...
