Quantum computing has long been constrained by the messy reality of controlling fragile qubits with bulky, power-hungry ...

Gates-backed silicon photonics startup unveils optical transistors 10,000× smaller and chips with 1,000× squared matrix compute potential.

Semiconductor chips that process light rather than electricity could boost processing speeds and reduce energy use.

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 tiny optical booster built directly onto a chip is pointing toward a future where light, not just electricity, does the ...

A new technical paper titled “Advances in waveguide to waveguide couplers for 3D integrated photonic packaging” was published ...

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 ...

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 ...

Light can be sculpted into countless shapes. Yet building optical devices that can simultaneously manipulate many different optical patterns at once is extremely complicated, and remains a major ...

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 ...

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 ...
