Photonic Chip With A 2D Programmable Waveguide (Boston U., UC Irvine, Yale)


A new technical paper titled "Arbitrary control over multimode wave propagation for machine learning" was published by researchers at Boston University, UC Irvine, and Yale University. Abstract "Controlled multimode wave propagation can enable more space-efficient photonic processors than architectures based on discrete components connected by single-mode waveguides. Instead of defining d... » read more

Roadmap for AI HW Development, With The Role of Photonic Chips In Supporting Future LLMs (CUHK, NUS, UIUC, Berkeley)


A new technical paper titled "What Is Next for LLMs? Next-Generation AI Computing Hardware Using Photonic Chips" was published by researchers at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, National University of Singapore, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and UC Berkeley.

System Bits: Oct. 3


Polariton graphs In a development that a team of researchers from the UK and Russia say could eventually surpass the capabilities of even the most powerful supercomputers, a type of ‘magic dust’ — which combines light and matter — can be used to solve complex problems. Hailing from the University of Cambridge, University of Southampton and Cardiff University in the UK and the Skolk... » read more
