A computer in which all internal circuits use light instead of electricity. Long predicted, an all-optical computer is not expected for some time as there are hurdles to overcome. However ...

Given that the basic computing element of a computer is a transistor — an electronic switching element — and that great progress has been made in all-optical switching and logic, there is an ...

An optical computer built at Wits University could help make quantum computing more accessible in developing nations.

Thus, both data transport and processing can be performed using the medium. To implement an optical quantum computer, Furusawa and his team are employing an original method that involves a form of ...
