A cool application of photonics that relies on quantum principles is using specialized photonic circuits to solve matrices. This is because the way light travels through a medium follows a matrix equation and so if you change the properties of the medium and measure the light, then you have essentially solved the matrix just by shining a light at some light channels. It's supposed to be magnitudes faster than an equal sized electronic chip and can be used heavily in machine learning and AI (AI is basically just a shit ton of matrices btw)

Analogue calculations like this used to be really common, they require no computing power to solve. There's similar methods for solving all sorts of equations. I've always predicted that analogue calculations will one day be integrated into our compute process for common problems. Anywhere you can fit an analogue calculation is going to be faster by several orders of magnitude. Especially as the modern age of computing keeps focusing more and more on optimization of the tech we currently have as it is becoming harder and harder to make it physically faster. Only reason we haven't started doing things like that already is changing computation pipelines leads to bad legacy support.

As neat as it is, whether it is done in one step for the most part doesn't matter, it's largely semantics; but the total timing does matter. It's like RISC vs CISC. CISC can do certain things in one instruction whereas RISC takes multiple, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the RISC processor does more or less of those per second. It's just a different way to schedule and pipeline the work. Now if you can chain a DAC to an emitter to the optical matrix multiply to a collector to an ADC and get that all done within the timing of a single processor micro instruction, then that's a very awesome matrix multiply. But would that take up more footprint on the processor, and can numerical error be reasonably handled? The great thing about digital electronics is when designed and operating correctly, a bit is a bit and you can very easily do deterministic math with that bit and know exactly what the outcome will be. But when you're analog, how can you do important scientific math without an unknown or infeasibly quantifiable risk of your analog values changing from what you expect them to be? You would have to have some kind of constraint that ensures you cannot have unknowns caused by unpredictable interference or defects on your analog circuit, such as always converting back to digital before the error adds up to an amount that would make that resulting digital value non-deterministic, thus resetting the error.

Considering PCI 5x16 has a max bandwidth of 128 GBps and thunderbolt 5 has 80/120 Gbps (10/15 GBps). In real world application a thunderbolt eGPU has very low bandwidth compared to its direct pci brother, the problem is further complicated by NPU/TPU they require even more bandwidth.The development of faster even more data hungry hardware will inevitably require a fiber optical port in our laptops and desktops in order to keep with the demand,

Silicon photonics isn't particularly likely to hit home computing except for maybe the network adapter and monitor cable. Its best advantage is communication at a distance. Short lengths see it suffer and i can't find anywhere showing an analysis of at what distances it is faster but the interest appears to be in using it for interconnecting components over a meter apart. Main advantage is needing fewer relays at especially long distances and greater bandwidth. It's also the worst method of photonics as silicon has a disjointed band gap. Furthermore it isn't without electricity as implied. It will replace some communication bussing, especially at the server level, but where it is present, please remember that silicon photonics is cheaper not better. Plenty of other photonics provide far more bandwidth. I'm sure the marketing departments will attempt to say otherwise, but the industry is looking at it because it is cheap, not better. If crossfire/sli weren't dead, the technology would allow for high bandwidth low wattage communicating between an array of gpus and a processing node(with actual room for adequate cooling), but it doesn't make sense for anything other than AI at this point. And again, cheap photonics.

It could be massive for connecting components of even normal devices together (gpu, cpu ram in home PC).

It could probably also allow for also for much more flexibility when making even a single chip such as a CPU. Mainly is that it can be a lot bigger at much higher speeds, and it'd also probably allow for more on board cache and more flexible ways to put different dyes together (this could make it cheaper to manufacture chips because cheaper dyes can be more easily incorporated where the improved and usually more expensive chip making technologies aren't required)

I feel like we're on the edge of making whole computers out of nothing but photonics, for really really big boost in bad with and it also sounds so fricken cool... Like star Trek...

That's why traditional transceivers are replaceable. These chiplets have come far enough in terms of quality that only a small amount of redundancy could address any potential failures.

Silence sacrilegious ones! If you are dealing with light, then each wavelength represents a musical frequency and thus various types of musical notes. Also maybe various types of edge masers are used.

I'm honestly surprised we don't have fibre-usb yet. If they're smart about it, a fibre will fit in a usbc connector. Thus giving us the final boss of usb cables. Usbc-f. Good for a couple Terabit and it can still do power delivery.

Data centers drive optic transceiver volume and development. Optics started in the Telco networks and advanced very slowly but when the datacenters moved to fiber optic interconnects and away from copper Ethernet the avalanche started. Volume shot up exponentially, prices plummeted due to volume, specification moved at the "rate of PC standards" and the speed just went insanely up - on that same fiber. Ayar Labs is doing some fun Chiplet stuff and OpenLIght is making Silicon Photonics as easy to implement as adding a memory to your ASIC. There are more of course. And right on time as AI is causing the datacenter to reinvent itself yet again. And this time its not a derivative of the workstation market. Its finally becoming its own incarnation.

its not just a "might" that we need them. Silicon photonics will be THE energy savior in the near future. Thanks to that development, we actually might hit the needed energy consumption to maintain our society. On top it will improve our capabilities to a point where, thanks to quantum computing mixed with graphene storage and silicon photonics, ai will bring us the secret of sustainable and commercial usable fusion.

It honestly surprises me how people don't acknowledge the other benefits of using light over metal traces; think analogue, rather than flashing a light on or off it could be any spectrum of color representing any number of values much like a qubit without the quantum mechanics or its limited environments, frankly such a step could be what brings quantum-like performance outside the lab and into the home desktop.
