What If the Future of Computing Isn’t Silicon?
July 29 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Milan Delor, Columbia University
Moore’s law – the long-standing trend of computer chips getting constantly faster and cheaper by doubling the number of transistors on a chip every two years – is coming to a worrying end. The hunt for new materials and processes that could power the next technological revolution is on. In this short talk, I will focus on one example: using light instead of electrons to compute. I will describe some key challenges from a materials science perspective, and emerging opportunities that could result in dramatic improvements in the speed and energy efficiency of information technologies, including for AI and quantum computing applications.
Town Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 3 to August 12 (with the exception of July 1). Doors open at 6 pm and the program starts at 6:30 pm. Free and open to the public.
