Optalysys optical processing systems will “turbo-charge” existing computers by performing processor-intensive tasks at much faster rates and with a significant reduction in energy consumption. The ...

Xanadu Quantum Technologies is a Canadian quantum computing hardware and software with US$145 million of funding. In May, 2021, they raised US$100M in Series B financing. Bessemer Venture Partners led ...

Researchers have successfully created an optical transistor from a single molecule. This has brought them one step closer to an optical computer. ETH Zurich researchers have successfully created an ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol in the UK have made a prototype optical quantum computer chip and used it to perform a mathematical calculation for the first time. The device consists of tiny ...

Say you're staring at the image of a small circle in the center of a larger circle: The larger one looks green, but the smaller one appears gray. Except your friend looks at the same image and sees ...

NTT and OptQC aim to build a 1-million qubit quantum computer based on light, rather than electricity, to enhance reliability, scalability and practicality. Use cases for a practical optical quantum ...
