Photonic computing
TopicHeard in 1 episode across 1 show since Aug 2026
Photonic computing, also known as optical computing, is a technology that uses light waves produced by lasers or incoherent sources instead of electricity to perform data processing, storage, and communication. By utilizing photons rather than electrons, it promises significantly higher bandwidth, faster processing speeds, and reduced energy consumption compared to conventional electronic computers.
