Fraunhofer ILT in Aachen has developed a highly complex laser-optical system for a quantum computer currently under construction at the 5th Institute of Physics at the University of Stuttgart. This ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

William Andregg ushers me into the cluttered workshop of his startup Fathom Computing and gently lifts the lid from a bulky black box. Inside, green light glows faintly from a collection of lenses, ...

Researchers have successfully created an optical transistor from a single molecule. This has brought them one step closer to an optical computer. ETH Zurich researchers have successfully created an ...

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are currently affecting our lives in many small but impactful ways. For example, AI and machine learning applications recommend entertainment we might ...

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 ...

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 ...
