Part 9/10:
Moreover, the broader implications for data center networking are significant. By using light-based interconnects instead of traditional wiring, the potential exists for increased efficiency in networking, reducing latency and resource consumption.
Conclusion: A New Era Awaits
While quantum computing has its own set of potential, the immediate commercial viability of photonic computing presents a more tangible opportunity. The blend of analog photonic computing with various chip architectures—including CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs—will likely lead to an ecosystem where each technology coexists, specializing in distinct applications.
