For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...

Gemstones like precious opal are beautiful to look at and deceivingly complex. As you look at such gems from different angles ...

iTunes isn't the most accurate or most powerful CD ripper, but it's the best for most people with demanding digitizing needs.

Shkreli revealed his position on X, arguing that “frontier computing is optical, not quantum.” He characterized the technology as “quantum class” to signal its potential to investors, asserting that ...

NTT and OptQC aim to build a 1-million qubit quantum computer based on light, rather than electricity, to enhance reliability, scalability and practicality. Use cases for a practical optical quantum ...

The latest trends in software development from the Computer Weekly Application Developer Network. Sometimes classed as a Japanese startup, OptQC works with optical photonic technologies to develop a ...

NTT, Inc. (NTT) and OptQC Corp. (OptQC) have signed a collaboration agreement to realize a 1-million qubit optical quantum computer by 2030. Under the agreement, NTT ...

The takeaway: Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have shown that the sensors in high-resolution optical computer mice can detect tiny desk vibrations and translate them into speech.

Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more efficient approach for specific applications. The authors behind a recent paper ...

A new technical paper titled “Analog optical computer for AI inference and combinatorial optimization” was published by researchers at Microsoft Research, Barclays and University of Cambridge.

Microsoft Research has built a prototype computer that doesn’t rely on electrons zipping through silicon but on beams of light. The machine, called an analog optical computer (AOC), is designed to ...
