Scientists learn to process information with 'frozen light' Scientists at Harvard University have shown how ultra-cold atoms can be used to freeze and control light to form the "core" – or central ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that can store more optical data in a smaller space than was previously possible on-chip. This technique improves upon the phase-change optical memory ...

Xanadu Quantum Technologies is a Canadian quantum computing hardware and software with US$145 million of funding. In May, 2021, they raised US$100M in Series B financing. Bessemer Venture Partners led ...

Modular optical computer chip allows stackable swappable functions By Michael Irving June 20, 2022 MIT engineers have developed a new modular computer chip that uses flashes of light to communicate ...

Excuse me a moment—I am going to be bombastic, over excited, and possibly annoying. The race is run, and we have a winner in the future of quantum computing. IBM, Google, and everyone else can turn in ...

Researchers have successfully created an optical transistor from a single molecule. This has brought them one step closer to an optical computer. ETH Zurich researchers have successfully created an ...

The constant scaling of AI applications and other digital technologies across industries is beginning to tax the energy grid due to its intensive energy consumption. Digital computing's energy and ...

Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more efficient approach for specific applications. The authors behind a recent paper ...

After a pleasant half-century of rapid improvements in electron-based computers, it's well known that the push for quicker and quicker processors (or co-processors) is hitting a wall. There are ...

A machine made from a 5-kilometre-long fibre optic cable coiled into a box a few metres across could give quantum computers a run for their money on certain tasks. The device, which performs ...

One of the attractive features of early optical computer mice was their lack of moving parts. The idea is that fewer moving parts translate into less mechanical wear and longer life. But even though ...
