DARPA Asks Labs to Outsmart Physics with Photonic Circuits

DARPA asks labs to outsmart physics with photonic circuits

: There’s about $35M up for grabs if your circuits can beat today’s limits

Let there be light! DARPA seeking physics-defying photonic computers to supercharge AI

There's about $35M up for grabs if your circuits can beat today's limits It's no lightweight matter. DARPA is putting about $35 million in total funding on the table in the hope that it will spur researchers to work around fundamental physical constraints and build much larger-scale photonic circuits that do more of the computing with light, not electronics. . . .
