Refractive computing architecture

Investigating how computation could be represented through optical and photonic systems.

Traditional electronic architectures face thermal and scaling constraints under large-scale AI workloads. We study alternative approaches, including optical and photonic computation, as conceptual directions for reducing energy and interconnect bottlenecks.

We are exploring new approaches to compute architecture design, with a focus on scalability, efficiency, and future AI infrastructure systems.
