The entire world's internet traffic could fit inside a single fiber cable.

Current worldwide internet bandwidth is said to be approximately 1 petabit/s, and this technology could almost double that over a single cable.

Enough to transmit six 25GB Blu-ray discs in a single second.

Reusing existing fiber optic infrastructure is (almost) as big a deal as it gets.

Toronto-based Xanadu has claimed quantum advantage for its Borealis Quantum Processing Unit (QPU), a programmable, photonics-based quantum processor.

If that isn't fast enough, the University of Pennsylvania scientists say that the current chip design would be pushed up to 5x faster using the best commercial fabrication processes.

Hailed as the fastest road towards deployable quantum computing systems.

Photonics enters the Top500 listing.

Intel has demonstrated the industry's first integrated switch package with silicon photonics.
