An international research team led by Swinburne University of Technology has demonstrated the world’s fastest and most powerful optical neuromorphic processor for artificial intelligence (AI), which operates at faster than 10 trillion operations per second and is capable of processing ultra-large scale data - something other optical processors have been unable to accomplish.

Published today in the prestigious Nature journal, the team, led by Swinburne’s Professor David Moss, Dr Xingyuan (Mike) Xu (Swinburne, Monash University) and Distinguished Professor Arnan Mitchell (RMIT University) achieved an exceptional feat in optical neural networks: dramatically accelerating their computing speed and processing power.
