A tiny optical booster built directly onto a chip is pointing toward a future where light, not just electricity, does the heavy lifting inside our computers. By cranking up light signals roughly 100 ...

Researchers at Washington University have developed a new method to let silicon photonics efficiently ...

Photonic quantum processors, devices that can process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects and particles of light (photons), have shown promise for numerous applications, ranging from ...

Researchers have demonstrated a photonic chip that trains itself on the hardware using on-chip holography to compute physical ...

Over the past several decades, researchers have been making rapid progress in harnessing light to enable all sorts of scientific and industrial applications. From creating stupendously accurate clocks ...

Researchers have built a paper-thin chip that converts infrared light into visible light and directs it precisely, all without mechanical motion. The design overcomes a long-standing efficiency-versus ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable storage of quantum information. The structures can be fabricated with extreme ...
