An international team of researchers demonstrates single-shot tensor computing—at the speed of light—and opens the door to next-gen AI hardware powered by optical computation. Source link

In this episode of Photonics Hot List: A compact Raman imaging system developed by a team at Michigan State University is sensitive enough to differentiate cancerous tumors from normal tissue upon detecting even the weakest signals. Business news roundup: Jenoptik has announced several leadership changes, while Quantum Computing Inc. has appointed a new CEO. An

A modular approach for quantum system engineering Photonic Inc.’s Entanglement First architecture is based on a modular approach for quantum system engineering. At its core, our architecture is based on a unique qubit modality, the silicon T center. This hybrid approach combines the best of silicon spin qubits and silicon photonics by leveraging the strengths

Precise manipulation of photons enables much of today’s digital infrastructure, and a single-photon switch breakthrough by Professor Vladimir Shalaev’s group at Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN) opens a long-sought path to terahertz photonic computing. Shalaev’s laboratory develops methods to generate ultrafast single photons using solid-state quantum emitters coupled to plasmonic cavities. These systems are extremely

“I’m seeing interesting developments in optical computing: Implementations of neural networks, neuromorphic computing, nonlinear models using optical systems, etc. Another interesting trend is in the area of integrated photonics: Chip-based optics platforms are becoming increasingly reliable, which moves them closer to applications. And there is movement in the area of optical detectors: Event-based cameras that
