News The world’s first glass-based quantum photonic chip design and production facility opens in Milan

[Admin]

A self-proclaimed leading producer of glass-based photonic chips has raised $8.5 million to expand its operations. Ephos says the new seed funding will accelerate the opening of ‘the world’s first facility for the design and production of glass-based quantum photonic chips.’

Oh yes please..... While this is likely decades away from viable CPU's matching current levels of performance, I am very much looking forward to the future of light based signaling and data transmission/commands. The elimination of electrical resistance is also the elimination of 212 degree chip temperatures! Light has no resistance, only TX/RX and transfer medium degradation over time. Many problems to sort through and solve, but it's gonna be soo good if/when we finally get there. Data at the speed of light, yes please!

Sooner than you think. Already talks of optical PCIe. Starting to reach the limit of high speed copper based data buses even over the short distances inside of a PC chassis.

Photonic chips have long been a candidate for replacing traditional semiconductors, but that doesn't really involve the quantum part so much.
