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

“Energy efficiency of electronic digital processors is primarily limited by the energy consumption of electronic communication and interconnects. The industry is almost unanimously pushing towards ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a foundational architecture for next-generation optical computing — using light rather than electricity to power chips — that could revolutionize how artificial intelligence ...

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 ...

Bill Gates is backing a bold bet that the next leap in computing power will not come from squeezing more transistors onto ...

Stanford physicists have engineered a sophisticated optical cavity capable of harvesting single photons from individual atoms.

Research on ONNs began as early as the 1960s. To clearly illustrate the development history of ONNs, this review presents the evolution of related research work chronologically at the beginning of the ...

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 ...
