Photonic CPU's the next big thing to make the fasted calculations posible at the speed of light
Essentially, PICs use photons at the scene of events to process and disseminate information. In a photonic chip, photons pass through optical components such as waveguides, lasers, polarizers and phase shifters. While photon-based computing holds immense potential for the future, it's still in its early stages of development. While there have been significant advancements, such as creating CPUs that use light for data transport, widespread commercial adoption is likely years away. Advantages of Photon-Based Computing Faster Speeds: Photons can transmit data much faster than electrons, leading to significantly increased processing speeds. IBM already made a Photonic CPU that is 1000x times faster than traditional CPU's. Lower Energy Consumption: Photonic devices can potentially operate at lower power levels, reducing energy consumption and heat generation. Higher Bandwidth: Photonic interconnects can handle much larger amounts of data, enabling more complex and data-intensive ...
