As artificial intelligence grows more powerful, so does its appetite for speed and energy. The quest for faster, smarter systems has driven researchers to an unlikely ally—light itself. A new study by ...

Quantum computers could rapidly solve complex problems that would take the most powerful classical supercomputers decades to ...

A device smaller than a grain of dust may help unlock the kind of quantum computers people have only dreamed about. Built on ...

As programmable photonics use light instead of electrons to transmit and process signals, they promise faster, more ...

Artificial intelligence is consuming enormous amounts of energy, but researchers at the University of Florida have built a chip that could change everything by using light instead of electricity for a ...

Forward-looking: By demonstrating a chip that can produce multiple frequencies without adjustment, a Maryland research team has brought photonic integration closer to parity with the semiconductor ...

The creation of a compact source of light that fits onto a chip has long been the aim of many photonics labs worldwide. In particular, researchers have wanted to design chips that can convert one ...

Researchers demonstrated a new method of cooling trapped ions using chip-based systems, which could enable more stable and ...
