What if photons can choose their route naturally in the photonic chip?

In the new types of photonic circuits, photons find their way through the system without outside effect. The idea is similar to dropping the metal balls into the labyrinth; the metal ball finds its route through the labyrinth without outside assistance. In this new photonic circuit, the system allows photons to travel freely through the labyrinth. 

The laws of thermodynamics control the photon’s route, and if that system turns real, that is a great advance in microchip technology. This thing makes it possible to create new, low-energy microchips that are also immune to outside electromagnetic fields. In a photonic system, the system can use a series of individual photons in two ways. 

A certain number of photons in a certain time means one. And a lower number of photon impacts means zero. For example, 100 photon impacts per second means one. And less than 100 means zero. Or the system can store information in the ring-shaped light beam. The system stores data as wave movement in the photonic ring. 

In regular computers, routers and switches control the information that travels in the form of electric impulses. In photonic chips, the system uses photons to transport information. That causes problems with the small chips. The mirrors and prisms can control light, but the problem is how to control single photons? 

In those systems where a photon travels freely through the system, the photon chooses its route by following the laws of thermodynamics. The system can control those photons by tilting the energy levels in the chip. The idea is similar to people controlling the metal ball’s routes in miniature labyrinths. If the labyrinth is closed, they can simply tilt it and try to control the ball by tilting the labyrinth. In those systems, the energy level in the chip plays a similar role to the tilting angles of the labyrinth. 

There is a possibility of using the atom’s quantum fields in the system. The atom’s quantum fields are like hills, and when the energy level of the atoms rises, that rises the height of the hill. That makes it possible to control photons. The idea is that the system could inject and adjust a single atom’s energy levels. The energy hills of higher energy particles, like atoms, or maybe some subatomic particle, push a photon. And the energy steps to the lower energy level make it possible to control photon routes. But the problem is that the photon must not touch a thing. Another solution can be the network of quantum tunnels. In those tunnels, the photon should be protected against outside effects. 

But if we think that the photon is the ball that travels in the labyrinth, we have one way to control that route. Without the need to touch the photon. We can take the labyrinth in our hands and tilt it. In these types of systems, the thing that tilts the labyrinth is the outside energy. Energy always travels to the lower-level part of the system. So by stressing the labyrinth, the effect is similar to tilting the labyrinth in the case where the metal ball travels in it.

Photonic time crystals and lasers can be the tools for new types of photonic computers and next-generation photonic technology.


 Photonic time crystals and lasers can be the tools for new types of photonic computers and next-generation photonic technology.


"“This work could lead to the first experimental realization of photonic time crystals, propelling them into practical applications and potentially transforming industries,” says Professor Viktar Asadchy from Aalto University, Finland.

Time crystals are materials that oscillate at a certain frequency. That oscillation pumps energy to light. Another thing. This time-based oscillation can make. Is to make photons jump between the walls of that time crystals. The oscillation sends wave movement into that jumping light or photons. Another way to increase the power of that jumping light is to make outcoming radiation increase its power.

"These crystals exhibit time-based oscillations, allowing for the exponential amplification of light, with potential applications ranging from advanced sensing to communication." (ScitechDaily, Scientists Create Photonic Time Crystals That Amplify Light Exponentially)

"Scientists have successfully designed realistic photonic time crystals—exotic materials capable of exponentially amplifying light. This breakthrough, an international team of researchers, opens up transformative possibilities in fields like communication, imaging, and sensing, laying the groundwork for faster, more compact lasers, sensors, and other optical technologies." (ScitechDaily, Scientists Create Photonic Time Crystals That Amplify Light Exponentially)

“This work could lead to the first experimental realization of photonic time crystals, propelling them into practical applications and potentially transforming industries,” says Assistant Professor Viktar Asadchy from Aalto University, Finland. “From high-efficiency light amplifiers and advanced sensors to innovative laser technologies, this research challenges the boundaries of how we can control the light-matter interaction.”(ScitechDaily, Scientists Create Photonic Time Crystals That Amplify Light Exponentially)

The new photonic system can increase the power of light exponentially. Laser rays can cut the route of other laser rays and form shadows. 

Photonic time crystals and lasers can be the tools for new types of photonic computers and next-generation photonic technology. The laser rays can close the route of light. That ability makes it possible to create the photonic switches. The idea is that the crossing laser ray can cut the path of another laser ray.  

And that allows the system to cut the signal. That kind of system can be a revolutionary advance for photonic microchips. Photonic microchips are tools that can minimize errors in quantum computers' qubits. The reason for that is that. The electromagnetic fields in those microchips are weaker. Than in regular silicone-based processors.

The high-power light can also ionize the atoms. The ion system can be used in medical and other systems like plasma stealth. In medical technology, the ion system can send ions to the targeted cells. The idea is that ions can tunnel themselves through the materials. The nanomachine can put tiny magnets to targeted cells and their positive pole can pull ions to those cells. Same way tiny magnets can pull ions or plasma to the targeted aircraft. 




"A black line across a region of blue illumination is the shadow cast by a green laser beam. "(R. A. Abrahao, H. P. N. Morin, J. T. R. Pagé, A. Safari, R. W. Boyd, J. S. Lundeen) (ScienceAlert, Scientists Discover Lasers Can Block Light And Cast a Shadow)


The same effect can protect the spacecraft and aircraft against laser rays. 


Researchers noticed that photonic time crystals could increase the light power exponentially. They can operate in sensing, imaging, and communication. The ability to amplify light exponentially makes it possible to create high-power laser systems. And the same systems can turn laser rays out from the layer. 

If we think about things like "flat lasers" or layers that can form laser rays from any point the system wants that system can make it possible to turn laser rays out from the target. The idea is that the system creates counter radiation with the same wavelength as incoming laser rays. 

When the incoming laser ray is weaker than the defending lasers that system turns the laser ray out of course. This system can use things like iron powder that it shoots to the route of incoming laser rays. That dust sucks the power of the laser beam and then the counter laser system can turn it away. When an attack is over the magnet can pull that dust out from the orbital. The same system can also destroy incoming missiles. 

That kind of system will not form the light from emptiness. The time crystal can increase the power of light by pumping energy into trapped light. Or the system can use an outside wave that transfers energy into those jumping photons. 

That system collects light and then focuses it. The idea is this. The time crystals form the space or "chamber" where light or photons jump from the chamber's walls. When light jumps from the edge of the time crystal. Outcoming light waves increase those jumping light waves' energy. That effect can raise the light's energy level to very high levels. When we think about things like laser rays those systems can turn even laser rays away. 


The high-power light can be used for ionizing air. 


The high-power light can also ionize the gasses like air. That means the high-power photonic systems can be used in levitational systems that create ion cushions below the craft. Then the craft can levitate over the ground by pushing those ions. The system also allows developers to create very interesting aircraft solutions. 

The idea is that the aircraft ionizes gas at the front of its wings. Then magnetic system pulls those ions backward. That thing allows the creation of very highly advanced vertical take-off and landing, VTOL systems. Those systems make it possible to make airfields and airbases in the middle of the cities, and those aircraft will not disturb people. 

That thing can also be the tool for the plasma stealth systems. In those systems, there is a channel in the aircraft body and wings. The air will be ionized in those channels. Then the aircraft that flies below things like strategic bombers can pull the ion layer between them and ground radars. And, if the system can load a negative electric load to the target. That system can make it possible to pull those ions against targeted systems.

The photonic chips are the new tools for computing.



Things like quantum computers require ultra-fast data handling systems to control them. The quantum computer is the most powerful calculation system in the world. The problem is that the quantum computer requires binary computers to input and output information to the system.  Researchers cannot connect things like screens and keyboards straight to the quantum computer. That's why there is needed a binary computer between the quantum state and input-output devices. 

When the controlling system notices some anomaly it must react immediately. Another thing that the system requires is that. The system that controls the quantum entanglement should not disturb the quantum entanglement and sensors. 

That downloads and uploads data in and out from superpositioned and entangled photons. Or some other particles. All electromagnetic systems cause electromagnetic fields that can affect data that travels in the qubit. 

So the answer is the photonic microchip. The photonic microchip can load data to photons and then deliver it to the quantum computers. There is one little problem with photonic computers. The system needs regular quantum computers to drive information to photonic computers. And, the new nanomaterials can make it possible to change photons to electricity and backward. 

In this model, the quantum computer has three stages. 


The regular binary computer. 

The photonic binary computer

Quantum computer.

The input will happen through the regular binary computer, which decodes it to the photonic binary system. And then the photonic binary system transfers data to the quantum state. When the quantum state makes its duty, the system will return the data to the regular binary computer through a photonic binary computer. 

This model means that the system is scalable and it saves energy. The binary system calls those other layers or states to work with a mission that takes too long time for the first level. If photonic computers cannot solve the problem in a certain time. The system transfers the problem to the quantum state. 



Image 3 

Those photonic processor rings look like token ring architecture. (Image 2)The processing system can involve many processors. That allows it to drive multiple databases at the same time. Or they are hybrid systems. That uses mesh-protocol-based architecture (Image 3). 

In that system, the central processor shares the missions with the other processors. The neural networks use mesh protocol. The mesh- or distributed networks have one benefit to centralized networks. If one processor has problems or damages, the data can pass that processor. 

When we think about the primary computers the photonic microchips can make the ring where they drive information. The system can involve two photonic microchip rings. It can compile the intermission after each processor drive. And if there are anomalies like different results there is something wrong. 

After a certain time. The system can transfer data to the next processor. And when the processor transfers the mission to the new processor. It can make the backup. 

Then there is the control system between those two rings that can compile the data. And that can be the new tool for systems that drive complex data structures. Things like the large language model. The LLM-type systems require. The new physical tools to handle information. New systems must support quantum calculation more effectively. 

The system must start to drive multiple databases at the same time. The photonic systems allow researchers to make new systems. That supports machine learning more effectively than traditional systems.
