Simplified quantum computer can be made with off-the-shelf components

Quantum computers could one day blow boring old classical computers out of the water, but so far their complexity limits their usefulness. Engineers at Stanford have now demonstrated a new relatively simple design for a quantum computer where a single … Continue reading Simplified quantum computer can be made with off-the-shelf components

Photonic device makes light any color by manipulating individual photons

Engineers at Stanford have created a new optical device that can easily manipulate light into basically any color desired. The system uses a series of modulators to fine-tune the frequencies of individual photons to change their color.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Photonic device makes light any color by manipulating individual photons

Colloidal diamonds self-assembled in breakthrough for photonics

Engineers have developed a simple way to make colloidal diamonds that self-assemble. These structures have traditionally been tricky to manufacture in bulk, but with this new method they could be used to help make better photonic devices.Continue Readi… Continue reading Colloidal diamonds self-assembled in breakthrough for photonics

Experimental photonic chip clocks crazy 44-Terabit internet speed

An Australian research team has recorded the fastest ever internet speed from a single light source – an absolutely astounding 44.2 Terabits per second. That’s more than 44,000 times faster than the highest speed connection available to consumers today… Continue reading Experimental photonic chip clocks crazy 44-Terabit internet speed

Neural Network In Glass Requires No Power, Recognizes Numbers

We’ve all come to terms with a neural network doing jobs such as handwriting recognition. The basics have been in place for years and the recent increase in computing power and parallel processing has made it a very practical technology. However, at the core level it is still a digital …read more
