How Computers Powered by Light Could Help With AI's Energy Problem ...

A computer that uses light rather than digital switches for calculations could help reduce the energy demands of artificial intelligence (AI), according to a new study. The scientists who invented the ...

Microsoft researchers in Cambridge have unveiled its latest iteration of an Analog Optical Computer (AOC) and have inevitably incorporated AI into the technology's capabilities.… The AOC harnesses ...

A team of researchers developed “parallel optical matrix-matrix multiplication” (POMMM), which could revolutionize tensor ...

A nanophotonic diffractive network performs morphological image processing, including dilation and erosion, purely through light propagation.

Want to call someone a quick-thinker? The easiest cliché for doing so is calling her a computer – in fact, “computers” was the literal job title of the “Hidden Figures” mathematicians who drove the ...

Microsoft has built a prototype computer that uses light and analog signals instead of traditional binary computing. The system, developed in Cambridge, U.K., is designed to handle optimization tasks ...

Researchers create a photochromic fluorescent system that performs optical neural computing and visual output in one step, cutting power use and complexity. (Nanowerk News) The rapid growth of ...

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 ...

Microsoft has teamed up with Barclays on a novel approach to tackling artificial intelligence (AI) and optimisation problems based on a scalable analogue optical computer (AOC) architecture, designed ...
