Quantum-Inspired Optical Computer Tackles Complex Optimization Problems
Scientists have reportedly developed a new computing paradigm called “entropy computing” that uses optical systems to tackle notoriously difficult optimization problems. The approach leverages quantum-inspired photonic technology to solve complex computational challenges that traditional computers struggle with, demonstrating capability with up to 949 variables according to research reports.
Researchers appear to have made significant headway against some of computing’s most stubborn challenges, developing what they’re calling “entropy computing” – a photonic approach to optimization problems that have long vexed conventional systems. According to recent reports in Communications Physics, this new paradigm could potentially reshape how we approach computationally intensive tasks across industries from logistics to finance.
