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 ...

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. The research, published in Nature Communications, addresses one of the key challenges to engineering computers that run on light ...

A new microchip-sized device could dramatically accelerate the future of quantum computing. It controls laser frequencies ...

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 ...

Scientists at Harvard University have shown how ultra-cold atoms can be used to freeze and control light to form the "core" – or central processing unit – of an optical computer. Optical ...

For decades, scientists have dreamed of computer chips that manipulate light rather than electricity. Unlike electrons, photons can cross paths without interfering with each other, so optical chips ...

Computers, like people, understand what they see in the world based on what they've seen before. This might sound like a throwaway distinction. If everybody—computers and humans alike—can see an image ...
