Quantum computers hold the promise of being able to quickly solve extremely complex problems that might take the worlds most powerful supercomputer decades to crack.

Neural networks could be implemented more quickly using new photonic technology

Lightmatter, a startup founded by three MIT alumni, is using photons as well as electrons to perform the computations that power AI models and facilitate chip-to-chip communication.

The U.S. National Science Foundation’s Physics Frontiers Centers program renewed a grant to the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms for $3.6 million per year for six years to fund exploring, understanding, and harnessing mysterious phenomena at the frontiers of physics.

Boston MA (SPX) Sep 26, 2023 - Computing is at an inflection point. Moores Law, which predicts that the number of transistors on an electronic chip will double each year, is slowing down due to the physical limits of fitting mor

MIT's “Lightning” system connects photons to the electronic components of computers using a novel abstraction, creating the first photonic computing prototype to serve real-time machine-learning inference requests.

An MIT machine-learning system demonstrates greater than 100-fold improvement in energy efficiency and a 25-fold improvement in compute density compared with current systems.
