Optical computing - using light rather than electricity to perform calculations - could pay dividends for both conventional computers and quantum computers, largely hypothetical devices that could ...

Researchers in the US have demonstrated what is in effect an ‘optical transistor’ which can modulate light, as in optical fibre communications, at terahertz frequencies. The team at Purdue University ...

(Phys.org) —Optical transistors and switches are fundamental in both classical and quantum optical information processing. A key objective in optics research is determining and developing the ...
