A device smaller than a grain of dust may help unlock the kind of quantum computers people have only dreamed about. Built on ...

Researchers describe a highly accurate way to assemble multiple micron-scale optical devices extremely close together on a single chip. The approach could allow high-volume manufacturing of chip-based ...

Recently, a research team led by Academician Lijun Wang at CIOMP under UCAS has systematically reviewed the latest ...

Optical logic gates represent a cutting‐edge approach to perform computation entirely with light, bypassing the limitations inherent to electronic components. By exploiting light’s phase, intensity, ...

On the third floor of the University of Delaware’s Du Pont Hall, electrical engineers analyze delicate, centimeter-sized computer chips on a large optical table surrounded by oscilloscopes, lenses and ...

Metasurfaces, ultrathin engineered structures comprised of subwavelength nanoantennas, have emerged as a transformative platform in modern optics. Their ability to manipulate light—controlling phase, ...

A new technical paper titled “Hybrid silicon all-optical switching devices integrated with two-dimensional material” was published by researchers at RIKEN, National Institute of Advanced Industrial ...
