Manipulating photons for microseconds tops 9,000 years on a supercomputer

Ars Technica's Chris Lee has spent a good portion of his adult life playing with lasers, so he's a big fan of photon-based quantum computing. Even as various forms of physical hardware like superconducting wires and trapped ions made progress, it was possible to find him gushing about an optical quantum computer put together by a Canadian startup called Xanadu.

TSMC Bets on Unorthodox Optical Tech

In a bold move, TSMC partners with Avicena to revolutionize AI data centers using microLED-based interconnects. Ditching lasers for LEDs, this tech promises energy efficiency and lower costs, at the expense of more fibers. Could this be the future of AI scale-up networks? #AI #Innovation
