A central theme of our research is studying photonic physics for computing to enable new forms of information and signal processing, including photonic computing, neuromorphic photonics, and quantum neuromorphic photonics, extending the domains of artificial intelligence, neuromorphic computing, and quantum information. Our interdisciplinary approach involves combining nanophotonics (the study of light at small scales) and complex systems (e.g., neural networks) on emerging substrates (e.g., compound semiconductors on silicon, ferroelectric materials, and polymers). These photonic processors could enable real-time applications in mathematical optimization, signal processing (wireless and fiber-optic communications), scientific computing, machine learning, and quantum information science.
