Scientists headed by physicists Prof. Wolfram Pernice, Prof. Martin Salinga and computer specialist Prof. Benjamin Risse, all from the University of Münster (Germany), developed a so-called ...

An AI neural network that uses light instead of electricity. Optical neural networks (ONNs) offer the potential for higher speed because regular chips can only trigger a limited number of transistors ...

Researchers have published a programmable framework that overcomes a key computational bottleneck of optics-based artificial intelligence systems. In a series of image classification experiments, they ...

A technical paper titled “Training neural networks with end-to-end optical backpropagation” was published by researchers at University of Oxford and Lumai Ltd. “Optics is an exciting route for the ...

In recent years, artificial intelligence technologies, especially the machine learning algorithms, have made great strides. These technologies have enabled unprecedented efficiency in tasks such as ...

As research into photonic computing progresses, scientists seek to optimize the performance of optical computing devices by making purpose-specific changes to their design. A team led by Bo Wu and ...

Moore’s law is already pretty fast. It holds that computer chips pack in twice as many transistors every two years or so, producing major jumps in speed and efficiency. But the computing demands of ...

Principal Research Fellow at AI and Cyber Futures Institute, Charles Sturt University Optical illusions, quantum mechanics and neural networks might seem to be quite unrelated topics at first glance.
