====== Photonic Computing ======
This is currently not a full fledged project and won't be for quite some time. This is more of a note-keeping thing for me, so that I don't Spam our matrix with youtube videos. 
To make this work, we basically need Ebeam Litography+a CMOS procedure at the ready

===== WHAT =====
Photonic Computing is basically the idea to recreate logic gates based on lasers, instead of light. A good intro talk is for instance this here:

This can be FAST, they assume that they can do multiple Terrahertz with this technique.
===== WHY =====
  - Its cool
  - Bleeding Edge
  - Can be done with "bigger" processes
  - Laz0rs
  - Its seems that its doable with a E-Beam-Lithography Process with nice results: [[https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6377270/|In-memory computing on a photonic platform]]
  - Did I mention Laz0rs?
