Optical computing has resurged with a promise of enhancing the performance of conventional electronic systems in terms of energy efficiency, low latency and computation throughput by offering low-loss transmission, wide bandwidth, and various multiplexing schemes for parallel computation. We bring together researchers and professionals from academia and industry to discuss this workshop and investigate the prospective developments and positioning of optical computing.
The key questions to address in this workshop are:
- What does the future hold for optical computing?
- How should it be positioned with respect to electronic computing?
- Which applications will benefit the most from optical computing? (AI, communication, cryptography, quantum, etc.)
- Analog, digital, or hybrid systems? Coherent, non-coherent systems?
- Hardware-application co-design: application-specificity vs flexibility, what are the trade-offs?
- Integrated vs. bulk optics: Will there be a winner? What are the considerations for scale and form-factor?
