Scientists learn to process information with 'frozen light' Scientists at Harvard University have shown how ultra-cold atoms can be used to freeze and control light to form the "core" – or central ...

The computing world is on the cusp of a transformative leap forward, as researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have unveiled an all-optical computer capable of achieving clock ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that can store more optical data in a smaller space than was previously possible on-chip. This technique improves upon the phase-change optical memory ...

Xanadu Quantum Technologies is a Canadian quantum computing hardware and software with US$145 million of funding. In May, 2021, they raised US$100M in Series B financing. Bessemer Venture Partners led ...

Modular optical computer chip allows stackable swappable functions By Michael Irving June 20, 2022 MIT engineers have developed a new modular computer chip that uses flashes of light to communicate ...

A research team has developed an optical computing system for AI and machine learning that not only mitigates the noise inherent to optical computing but actually uses some of it as input to help ...

Excuse me a moment—I am going to be bombastic, over excited, and possibly annoying. The race is run, and we have a winner in the future of quantum computing. IBM, Google, and everyone else can turn in ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich have recently managed to create an optical transistor from a single molecule in what is yet another important achievement on the road to quantum computing. Quantum ...

After a pleasant half-century of rapid improvements in electron-based computers, it's well known that the push for quicker and quicker processors (or co-processors) is hitting a wall. There are ...

One of the attractive features of early optical computer mice was their lack of moving parts. The idea is that fewer moving parts translate into less mechanical wear and longer life. But even though ...

Scientists at Harvard University have shown how ultra-cold atoms can be used to freeze and control light to form the "core" – or central processing unit – of an optical computer. Optical ...

A computer in which all internal circuits use light instead of electricity. Long predicted, an all-optical computer is not expected for some time as there are hurdles to overcome. However, there are ...
