A theoretical study by Norwegian physicists suggests that abruptly removing a mirror during a photon's reflection divides it into multiple photons across a frequency spectrum, which remain in a superposition of reflected and transmitted states, challenging conventional understanding of photon behavior.
A Chinese research team, led by PhD student Wang Yi, has developed a new fabrication method for 3D integrated photonics, drastically cutting production time from hours to seconds, addressing a major manufacturing bottleneck in the field.
Bệnh viện Triều An (TP.HCM) vừa công bố ứng dụng hệ thống CT đếm photon Naeotom Alpha, giúp phát hiện sớm các tổn thương nhỏ, giảm liều tia X và thuốc cản quang, đặc biệt hữu ích cho bệnh nhân tim mạch và ung thư.
Shanghai has launched China's first industry-academia platform dedicated to photonic computing. The new lab, based at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, aims to advance research in photonic chip architectures, integration, and applications, offering a potential alternative to traditional semiconductors for AI computing.
As AI computing demands outpace traditional copper interconnect capabilities, photonics (light-based tech) gains investment and attention for its lower-loss optical links, with China's Yuanjie Technology seeing an 11x stock surge.
Researchers have developed a handheld biosensing system, significantly more accurate than conventional methods, with findings published in Nature Photonics. The technology aims for high-performance diagnostics in various settings.
Jiuzhang 4.0, a quantum computer, completed a Gaussian boson sampling task in 25 microseconds, a feat estimated to take the world's most powerful supercomputer over 10^42 years.
Lightelligence, the first mainland Chinese photonics chipmaker to go public in Hong Kong, saw its shares surge nearly 400% on debut, opening at HK$880 versus an offer price of HK$183.20. The company raised HK$2.4 billion ($306 million) in its IPO and closed at HK$886, valuing it at HK$81.5 billion. The oversubscribed listing reflects investor appetite for photonics chips as an alternative to conventional semiconductors for AI data centres.
Lightelligence, the first mainland Chinese photonics chipmaker to go public in Hong Kong, saw its shares surge nearly 400% on trading debut, opening at HK$880 versus an offer price of HK$183.2. The Shanghai-based company raised HK$2.4 billion in its IPO, with the retail tranche oversubscribed 5784.7 times, as investors bet on optical computing chips as an alternative to conventional semiconductors for AI data centres.
