Optical Computing?

Ultra-fast single-shot tensor computing trades 1s and 0s for light waves

Want to call someone a quick-thinker? The easiest cliché for doing so is calling her a computer – in fact, “computers” was the literal job title of the “Hidden Figures” mathematicians who drove the success of early NASA.

Any thoughts on this technology and where it may go appreciated. Thanks

I wonder if this and quantum computing will serve some interesting but important niches, while not displacing classical electronic computing.
