Two technology companies have unveiled breakthrough computer
components that process information using laser light instead of
electricity, potentially revolutionizing computing as traditional chip
advancement stalls. The announcements, published April 9 in Nature,
demonstrate photonic computing solutions from Lightelligence and
Lightmatter that perform real-world tasks with greater speed and
efficiency than conventional electronic processors.
"These
light-based, or photonic, components can do things that we care about,
and that they can do them better than electronic chips that we already
have," says Anthony Rizzo, a photonics engineer at Dartmouth College who
was not involved in either study...<<<
