Sound filter shaves microseconds from photonic processing
At the business ends of the extensive web of fibre optic cables that thread around the world, the pulses of light they carry have to be converted into electronic signals.

The new chip, Krzanich said, is “a major breakthrough for quantum computing” and comes just two months after Intel announced it had fabricated a 17-qubit test-chip.
Having travelled halfway round the world down underwater fibre optic cable in an instant, by the time data in light form reaches your computer, it has to be slowed down to be processed.
The concept of building a quantum computer with topological qubits had been knocking around Microsoft for nearly 15 years.
The University of Queensland will soon deploy a new high performance parallel computer cluster to support intensive data modelling in advanced materials, vaccines, systems, and technologies in several research areas.
