Using photonics for information processing is a central pillar of optics research. Modern optics prioritizes ultra-compactness, high integration and high speed. Hence, the application of nanophotonics ...

When we recall something familiar or explore a new situation, the brain does not always use the same communication routes.

How do brains turn environmental inputs into motor outputs? This question, known as the “black box” problem, has left ...

The function of traditional computing is reaching its capacity. Transistor-based silicon technologies that rely on binary encoding, are failing to meet the needs of modern science. As technology ...

Routing signals and isolating them against noise and back-reflections are essential in many practical situations in classical communication as well as in quantum processing. In a theory-experimental ...

This article explores the relevance of human information processing to the development and use of computer based information and decision support systems. Human information processing is related to ...

Mental speed -- the speed at which we can deal with issues requiring rapid decision-making -- does not change substantially over decades. Psychologists have come to this conclusion. They evaluated ...

This course will teach students how to organize and analyze real-world data sets using tools that are most commonly used in the business world. In particular, students will learn the SQL language for ...

The “…business of a philosopher is not to change the world but to understand it...” The “…only label I’ve ever given myself is logical atomist… the way ...
