For decades, the solution to harder problems has been ‘build a bigger computer’— but ...

Computer-generated holography (CGH) provides an approach to digitally modulate a given wavefront. This technology, partly inherited from optical holography and partly advanced by the progress of ...

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...

A quantum computer can solve optimization problems faster than classical supercomputers, a process known as "quantum advantage" and demonstrated by a USC researcher in a paper recently published in ...

Conventional quantum algorithms are not feasible for solving combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) with constraints in the operation time of quantum computers. To address this issue, researchers ...

Published in Nature, the study details the first large-scale demonstration of a photonic Ising machine operating without the ...

While it's no replacement for either computer, the new device is a powerful alternative for addressing some very practical ...
