optical fiber

The optical fiber uses optogenetics—a method that leverages light to control genetically-engineered neurons—to activate the PFC.

This happens at two identical nodes at either end of the optical fiber.

The system works by generating a pair of entangled photons and firing one at the memory and one down an optical fiber.

Astronomers have managed by directly linking nearby optical telescopes with optical fibers — an approach that led in 2019 to the first direct observation of an exoplanet.

Current approaches look unlikely to scale, but new research suggests optical fiber could be the key to creating devices big enough to revolutionize computing.
