In the age of information, data processing and computation are essential. But current computation devices lack scalability and suffer from high carbon emissions. So researchers are constantly looking ...

Ternary optical computing systems represent an innovative leap beyond traditional binary computation by utilising three discrete logic states. This approach leverages the intrinsic advantages of ...

A breakthrough optical design allows quantum computers to read information in parallel, a key step toward building ...

Researchers in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Faculty of Arts and ...

We always hear that future computers will use optical technology. But what will that look like for a general-purpose computer? German researchers explain it in a recent scientific paper. Although the ...

For decades there has been near constant progress in reducing the size, and increasing the performance, of the circuits that power computers and smartphones. But Moore’s Law is ending as physical ...

Computing is hitting a physical and economic wall just as generative artificial intelligence explodes in complexity and cost. The traditional trick of cramming more transistors onto silicon is running ...

A team of researchers developed “parallel optical matrix-matrix multiplication” (POMMM), which could revolutionize tensor ...

Researchers create a nanoscale light switch operating 10,000 times faster than electronic transistors, opening possibilities ...

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 ...

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 ...
