Do you see a future in photonics based computing? Lot of Silicon Valley ventures are putting serious money behind this company for some reason. https://lightmatter.co/products/envise/
>>106571886And the most important thing: ITS CHEAPPER
if it were possible it would already exist
>>106571886It's probably just jews xeroxing elon or the zuckerberg looking girl
>>106571943>>106571942>>106571912Not knowledgeable on Silicon Valley start ups but why do so many of positions seem redundant or totally useless?

>>106571886its much more realistic than quantum computing but so far scaling it has been a problem. Magnonics is a similar technique with the same frequency based computing advantage. Or flux devices thats the real end game.
photons are just light nigga
>>106571886The reason is low power consumption. I've also seen it's possible to cool parts of a chip with laser, it'll probably be integrated eventually to boost clock speeds in critical paths.
>>106572483> I've also seen it's possible to cool parts of a chip with laserLies.Lasers are not a chip cooling devising, remote possibility that some data transfer or types of compute can be thermally cheaper using light but that's not the same as a laser cooling a fucking chip, its just it being more efficient. If you thinking of laser cooling, that is a thing in some niche physics applications that have absolutely nothing to do with cooling a fucking computer chip you fucking brainlet. >>106571886Mostly I am interested in free space diffraction based computing for solving problems with many candidate inputs and few valid solutions. This silicon photonics stuff I would only be interested in using it conjoined with aforementioned types of things only to not have to domain switch between optical and electrical so much.
>>106571886Integrated Photonics is a fad that hasn't left the lab yet and is already dying.There is still plenty of funding, but companies are slowly realizing that "lab on a chip" is turning out to mean "lab WITH a chip", because you need a large amount of external equipment to make these chips work.No matter what buzzwords they use, it hasn't been solved and there is no believable solution to this problem.t. in the know
>>106572782why are they funneling money into it then?
>>106571886Optic computing has a few drastic advantages over traditional computing. High bandwidth, it’s analogue, low power requirements, no electrical resistance and thus no real heat – which means no or a drastically lower need for cooling.There’s a German company that already builds PCIe cards that do optical workflows on the card. https://qant.com/de/photonisches-computing/I am not sure if there is a bandwidth bottleneck where the optical results have to be converted back into electrical signals, though.

>>106572793FOMO
>>106572782so are we in a purgatory until it's solved or is there an alternative?
>>106573717You are a fool if you think this is or will be a thing for conventional computing. It extracts less than a milliwatt of heat per sq cm. Possibly applicable to quantum or superconducting computing, or maybe some deep infra red sensors but absolutely useless for traditional computing.
>photonicsI thought all EM waves were just photons?
