Great conversations. As a custom fiber assembly house figuring out how CPO and other photonics technologies like LightMatter offers are driving the future is super important for folks

[GrindThisGame]

Great interview Jason. If we can dramatically reduce the energy needed for inference it will be a huge win.

One thing I've always wondered, and I'm sure someone some day will capitalize on that, but the internal reflection inside the optics could be used to increase the computational power of these future glass processors. Can you imagine writing software inside the reflection of one of those endless mirrors? Maybe it is a stretch, but with the duality of the polarization of light in quantum computing I'm sure some engineer can come up somehow. I call dibs on the patent, please. 😉

Silicon chips will grow dendrites in space?? Wow.

[ektor]

quantum computing is computing on single atoms. So in the future will be possible to build general purpose quantum computers that can do everything a lot faster than silicon-based computer?

I guess this is the grind. point taken. But seriously, somethings up my man. Dont be a fahgazee
