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 ...

“Energy efficiency of electronic digital processors is primarily limited by the energy consumption of electronic communication and interconnects. The industry is almost unanimously pushing towards ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 recent years, the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT) has driven a surge in computational demand. Traditional electronic computing, however, is approaching its ...

Quantum computing has spent years in the realm of lab demos and marketing decks, promising breakthroughs that never quite arrived at commercial scale. With NTT now tying its long-term network vision ...
