Part 1: The Quantum Noise Crisis The story of quantum computing, for the better part of three decades, has been a story of noise. It is a narrative defined by a tantalizing paradox: the very physical properties that give quantum computers their immense power—superposition and entanglement—are t ...
In the quiet revolution of photonics, a new paradigm is emerging—one that shrinks the colossal power of artificial intelligence into a footprint smaller than a grain of sand. This is the story of "The Diffractive Tip," a technological marvel where the complex, energy-hungry layers of a deep neural n ...
