(Nanowerk News) By studying the theoretical limits of how light can be used to perform computation, Cornell researchers have uncovered new insights and strategies for designing energy-efficient ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a powerful new optical chip that can process almost 2 billion images per second. The device is made up of a neural network that processes ...

Yale University scientists have built what they call the first anti-laser, a device that can cancel out beams of light generated by a laser. Such a device could be an integral element in optical ...

NTT and OptQC aim to build a 1-million qubit quantum computer based on light, rather than electricity, to enhance reliability, scalability and practicality. Use cases for a practical optical quantum ...

British researchers have created a new material that could allow for the creation of all-optical computers -- computers that are orders of magnitude faster and power efficient than today's hot, sweaty ...
