“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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have built a computer that performs complex AI calculations in a single pass of light, completing what today’s fastest AI chips need multiple steps to accomplish. The breakthrough promises ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Every time you send a text message or browse the internet, your device processes information using tiny electronic switches that flip on and off millions of times per second. But ...

Researchers demonstrated a scalable, modular hardware platform that integrates thousands of interconnected qubits onto a customized integrated circuit. This 'quantum-system-on-chip' (QSoC) ...

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 ...
