New photonic computing method uses electromagnetic waves

Electromagnetic waves help to solve partial differential equations at the speed of light.

Photonic computing, utilizing light-matter interactions, offers high-speed calculation capabilities. A groundbreaking study from Newcastle University presents an innovative method utilizing electromagnetic waves for solving PDEs, particularly the Helmholtz wave equation. The researchers have devised a network of interconnected waveguides filled with dielectric inserts, replicating the functionality of traditional circuit elements.
