| Abstract | This U.S.–Swiss project tackles a major barrier in the development of silicon photonic chips — a key technology for faster, energy-efficient data movement in computing, communications, and sensing. Current design methods are slow, expensive, and hard to scale. This project introduces Fusion Network (FusNet), a novel approach that combines simulation and design optimization into a single, fast process. By using advanced computing hardware and AI-guided techniques, FusNet drastically reduces the t |
