Photonic Circuit

Photonic circuits leverage light instead of electrons for computation, aiming to achieve significantly faster and more energy-efficient processing than traditional electronics. Current research focuses on developing novel architectures and algorithms, including neural networks implemented in photonic devices and the use of machine learning for both designing and simulating these circuits, with methods like neural operators and inverse design showing promise. This field is crucial for advancing optical computing, with potential applications ranging from high-speed AI accelerators to compact optical sensors and communication systems.
