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 ...

Light can be sculpted into countless shapes. Yet building optical devices that can simultaneously manipulate many different ...

A team of researchers at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has created a new breakthrough in photonics: the design of the first optical device that follows the emerging ...

A device smaller than a grain of dust may help unlock the kind of quantum computers people have only dreamed about. Built on a standard microchip and almost 100 times thinner than a human hair, this ...

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 ...

A device smaller than a grain of dust is emerging as a surprisingly powerful candidate to reshape how quantum computers are built and scaled. Instead of relying on room-filling optics and fragile lab ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The human eye's remarkable ability to detect edges—the boundaries between light and dark areas in our visual field—is a fundamental aspect of how we perceive the world. This ...

Addressing a major roadblock in next-generation photonic computing and signal processing systems, researchers in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have ...
