FCCMを見た

FCCMがバーチャルで公開されて，しかも参加登録無料だったので
あれこれプレゼン動画をみてみた．
キーノートは，Reconfiguarble Comuting with Nanophotonics．
コンピューティングのコンポーネントは，

• MRR, MZI
• Photodiode, Combiner
• Nonlinear Activations

で，アプリの例はPDEソルバとかCNNとか．
Conclusionsは，

• With reduced size and plethora of components nanophotonics make it possible to architecturally innovate
• In addition to what is possible with Silicon Photonics, Metatronics provide the ability to engineer new materials that can fit in and provide new capabilities as we saw in ROC
• All of these devices are generally programmable
• The possibilities do not stop at digital or multivalued representations but it also can bring back important element of analog computing
• It is important not to just copy a digital or an analog electronic solution as is, but rather thing about what alternatives photonics can offer
• The savings in power about the range of new possibilities are worth the investment
• There are many well known challenges, many of which are being tackled
• There is new promising work
• With new devices, material, algorithms conversions between electronic and photonic domains can be cut down and many new all optical devices are emerging.
