The 2nd Open Symposium on Photonic Computing
“Photonics for Computing & Computing for Photonics”

A new academic discipline has recently gained attention, woven together by photonics and computing. From this perspective, in this symposium, we will invite active researchers at the cutting edge research of photonic computing and imaging to introduce the latest topics. We will discuss the combination of optics and information science as we move toward a new era through general presentations, poster sessions, and dialogue. We look forward to your participation.
