PHOTONICS GOAL. "Electronics technology increasingly requires integration with photonics to maintain the performance roadmap known as Moore’s Law. Parallelism is already delivering an aggregate system performance of 1000x every ten years that outpaces the 2x every eighteen months “Moore’s Law” rate." https://lnkd.in/eAzxwaq View in LinkedIn

ELECTRONIC INTEGRATED CIRCUITS. "The photonic equivalents of these devices have been equally challenging to develop and are widely used to manipulate and control the signals in optical fibres. But it’s fair to say that they have yet to reach their full potential." https://lnkd.in/etC-jj8 View in LinkedIn

PHOTONS TRUMP ELECTRONS. "Electronic integrated circuits are arguably the most significant technology of the 20th century. In enabling, among other things, the computer industry, they have changed the way we work and play to an unprecedented extent." https://lnkd.in/etC-jj8 View in LinkedIn

ANTIPHOTON FAMILY. "Particles that are their own antiparticles must be electrically neutral, because an antiparticle has the opposite electrical charge as its partner particle." https://lnkd.in/eKC-Bei View in LinkedIn

ANTIPHOTON FAMILY. "Some particles are their own antiparticles, notably the force carriers like photons, the Z boson, and gluons, which mediate the electromagnetic force, the weak nuclear force, and the strong force, respectively." https://lnkd.in/eKC-Bei View in LinkedIn

LIGHT IS ITS OWN OPPOSITE. "When a particle meets its antiparticle, they annihilate into gamma rays: the highest energy type of light, in accordance with E = mc2. (BUT) Antiphotons are the same thing as regular photons: there’s no difference at all... Photons have no mass: they’re pure energy." https://lnkd.in/eKC-Bei View in LinkedIn

LIGHT IS ITS OWN OPPOSITE. "Every type of matter has an antimatter partner: electrons are paired with positrons, protons have antiprotons, and for every quark there’s an antiquark." https://lnkd.in/eKC-Bei View in LinkedIn

PHOTONICS. " This discipline is identified in the European R&D roadmaps as one of the most prominent cutting-edge fields in science and technology for the 21st century." https://lnkd.in/eMtm6-n View in LinkedIn

LIGHT is a perplexing material. "A photon can best be viewed as a transaction between two atoms on the same light cone." A must-read to unsettle the smug. (Carver Mead, California Institute of Technology). https://lnkd.in/eantUWY View in LinkedIn
