Live Science reports that such a technology could use a beam of light to fix a magnetic bit in a superposition of both 1 and 0, similar to how qubits work in quantum computers.

New chip design uses photons rather than electrons to perform calculations, and scientists hope to integrate the technology into future graphics cards to train AI.

There are currently several ways to build a quantum computer. But let’s start by describing one of the leading designs to help explain how it works. Imagine a lightbulb filament, hanging upside ...

This Chip for AI Works Using Light, Not Electrons Lightmatter says the computing and power demands of complex neural networks need new technologies like these to keep up.

The chip was nearly 92 percent accurate at image recognition, matching current chip performance, but cut energy consumption over a thousand-fold.

But until now it’s been difficult to engineer similar light-based communication into the crowded, microscopic world of the computer chip itself.

So much of modern computer science, engineering and chip design is concerned with masking the inherent limitations that the memory hierarchy and von Neumann architecture impose on computation ...

A group of teenagers in Fairfax County have created a supercomputer chip with the goal of reinventing the computer.

Electronic chip mimics the brain to make memories in a flash Engineers have mimicked the human brain with an electronic chip that uses light to create and modify memories Date: July 17, 2019 ...
