AbstractConventional computing based on digital electronic logic faces challenges due to the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, which need massive amounts of processing power, outpacing the rate at which computers have historically progressed (according to Moore's Law). Photonics technologies offer an attractive alternative due to several advantages, including high speed, energy efficiency, and the potential for massive parallelization of information processing. Thi
