Developed: World's 1st ultra-high parallel optical computing chipIn a landmark moment for IT world, Chinese scientists have unveiled the world's first ultra-high parallel optical computing integrated chipTuesday July 1, 2025 11:29 AM , Technology DeskIn a landmark moment for IT world, Chinese scientists have unveiled the world's first ultra-high parallel optical computing integrated chip. The new ultra-high parallel optical computing IC has been developed by the researchers at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The findings of the study were published last week in the journal eLight, titled "Parallel Optical Computing Capable of 100-Wavelength Multiplexing". This parallel optical computing architecture holds broad application prospects in fields like artificial intelligence and data centers", Beijing based CGTN said in its report. Optical computing is game changer for embodied intelligence, neural networks, physical simulations and image processing.
