Optical memory success which combined with photonic
logic will enable computers 100 times faster than today:
"Researchers have developed the first non-volatile all-optical chip
memory based on phase change material. The technology needed to
commercialize this solution already exists and pairing their solution with
photonic logic chips will lead to computers that are 100 times faster than
currently available machines."
