Role of photon statistics in energy-efficient optical computers
Joseph Shamir, H. John Caulfield, Devon G. Crowe · Applied Optics · 1991
One of the limiting factors in the operation of highly energy-efficient optical computers is the fluctuation in the rate of photon detection events. Squeezed light technology, which appeared to be a possible way to mitigate this fluctuation, is shown to be of limited utility in this field.
