This new type of optical memory unit,called a programmable photonic latch, is fast and scalable. It could offer a high-speed silicon photonics solution for volatile memory. WASHINGTON — Researchers ...

In classical computer science information is stored in bits, in quantum computer science -- in quantum bits, i.e. qubits. Experiments now show that not only physics, but also chemistry is suitable for ...

The performance of a business computer at everyday tasks largely depends on two factors: its processor speed and the amount of memory it has. The processor's speed comes from its clock, a timing ...
