New ‘game-changing’ discovery for light-driven artificial intelligence

Published on July 31, 2024

In a paper published today in Nature, researchers from the University of Oxford, along with collaborators from the Universities of Muenster, Heidelberg, and Ghent, report on their new findings that replacing lasers with less complex light sources can surprisingly boost performance in some optical applications, such as light-driven AI technologies. This discovery opens the way for cheaper, and less energy-intensive light sources to be used in applications that have typically relied on expensive, high-spec lasers.
