A Photonic Neuron
The light-driven building block at the heart of computers for next-gen machine learning.
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) driven by software algorithms are enabling many new applications. Yet software-driven ANNs are a poor fit with existing computer architectures. For that reason, researchers are hard at work on “neuromorphic” computers, in which the hardware itself is inspired by the networks of the human brain.
