A new microchip-sized device could dramatically accelerate the future of quantum computing. It controls laser frequencies ...

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 ...

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 ...

TEL AVIV, Israel, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LightSolver, inventors of a new laser-based computing paradigm, and HLRS (High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart) today announced the joint ...

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 a recent study published in Nature Photonics, a research team led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), Columbia University, and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid developed a new ...

Opaque materials can transmit light when excited by a high-intensity laser beam. This process, known as optical bleaching, induces a nonlinear effect that temporarily alters the properties of a ...

U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Optical Sciences Division’s fiber optic computing experiment of encoded data on an optical carrier using the modulator, left, orange housing, and coupled into a 500 ...

Way, way back in the day, “computing” was the domain of analog circuits. No, they couldn’t add up columns of numbers, but they could solve complex differential and other equations, and did so fairly ...

Japanese telecom firm NTT and Tokyo-based electronics giant Toshiba are working on new ways around this problem. In November, ...
