Antennas for light and their applications in classical optics, Dr Rupert Oulton, Imperial College
Gold particles with dimensions of about a hundred nanometres are resonant at visible wavelengths and thus serve as antennas for light. Over the past two decades, nano-fabrication technology has advanced to the point where a…

Envisioning Fluid Cross-Device Experiences
The future of work is beyond the desktop, existing in a more natural environment where individuals can grab a pen to annotate a document on any device and share it effortlessly with others, including themselves. The future of work is identifying relevant information on the web or in email on a phone while commuting and…

Photonics for Computing: from Optical Interconnects to Neuromorphic Architectures
How should someone exploit photonics in computing? Simply replacing the electrical with optical wires and increasing the datarate is the first and obvious answer, but the idiosyncrasy of photons can lead to improved architectures that…

Design and Optimization of Dielectric Metasurfaces
Research in the field of dielectric metasurfaces has recently enabled wavelength-scale thickness flat optical elements that promise to reduce the form factor of existing optical elements in addition to providing a platform for implementing new…

Honeycomb
Traditional CPUs are general, but this comes at a cost (called “Turing tax”). They are more expensive and less efficient than specialized hardware. This raises the question: should we build CPU-free nodes? CPU-free nodes only…
