Re: [Jchat] Optical
It's odd, but most of the news on that front is about "quantum computing". I can find people working on the optical stuff. For example https://www.academia.edu/34364046/Photonic_integration_on_the_hybrid_silicon_evanescent_device_platform But I guess the news is kind of quirky. I also don't know how I could pursue this kind of thing on a hobbyist scale. -- Raul On Wed, May 18, 2022 at 10:01 AM Björn Helgason wrote: > > One of the apl conferences I think it was 1989 in copenhagen there was a > presentation about optical computers. > > Have not heard much about it since but it looks like it is coming to the > surface again. > > As far as I remember the presenter said it would fit apl very well. > > Incidentally Ken Iverson gave me a copy of J on this same conference on a > discette. > -- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm -- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
[Jchat] Optical computers
Hi, Björn, The IEEE does a fairly decent job of keeping me informed about progress on the optical (and quantum) computing front. IEEE Spectrum, their monthly "flagship" publication is worth looking at, either online or at a decent technical library: https://spectrum.ieee.org/tag/optical-computing Can you give us some links and/or citations for your reading in this area?

[Jchat] Optical
One of the apl conferences I think it was 1989 in copenhagen there was a presentation about optical computers. Have not heard much about it since but it looks like it is coming to the surface again. As far as I remember the presenter said it would fit apl very well. Incidentally Ken Iverson gave me a copy of J on this same conference on a discette. -- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
