An international team of researchers has developed an optical fiber with a liquid core that, when frozen, demonstrates record-breaking enhancement of optoacoustic effects. This technology opens up new possibilities for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing and advanced physical platforms.
Researchers at the University of Warsaw have developed and tested a new quantum key distribution (QKD) system with multidimensional encoding, utilizing the Talbot effect to enhance efficiency and simplify the design. This innovative method has been successfully demonstrated in real-world fiber-optic networks and opens up new possibilities for more secure data transmission.
Chinese researchers have unveiled the LightGen photonic chip, which is capable of running large-scale AI models with performance up to 100 times greater than leading GPUs, while significantly reducing energy consumption.
Engineers have, for the first time, successfully transmitted quantum signals over commercial fiber-optic lines using standard internet protocols. The new Q-chip paves the way for the creation of a quantum internet based on existing infrastructure.
