How to Use Lazers for Computing?

Lazers are devices that generate light. You give em an electrical signal and they're able to start generating light. They're used in all sorts of traditional communications. The inner net that we're talking over right now is over fibre optics, and the communication is sent using using lazers to do that. So we're ableto leverage that same infra structure, lazers and silican fatonics to actually do corps computations that happen in deep learning. And these computations are i think tractable really, for anybody to understand. I'm happy to go ito how that works a bit later on. O, probably the main thing people think about, maybe is like g ps
