The 3rd International Symposium on Photonic Computing

The 3rd International Symposium on Photonic Computing will be held as an event marking the final year
of the project. In this symposium, we will provide an overview of the project as a whole and present
the major achievements of each research team. Additionally, we will invite distinguished researchers
from Japan and abroad who are actively contributing to this field to share their latest research findings.
We look forward to your participation.
