If these guys gave a shit they'd focus on light based chips, which are in very early stages, but will save a lot of power.

I was talking about the photonic chips from Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, but looking into it the last update on that was four years ago.

I know they were entangling photons, so there's probably lots of research and parts to work on, but still, maybe it's just not moving forwards.

I'm not that familiar with the technology, but the benefits seem worthy of more news than they get.

What are IBM's efforts like?
