Request for Information: Algorithms and Abstraction for Photonic Processing

Description: DARPA's Multi X Office seeks information on first-principles algorithms designed to execute on photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The effort focuses on algorithm-hardware co-design and co-development using state-of-the-art photonics capabilities to enable future Department of War capabilities. Respondents should submit concise slides describing their technical approach, innovations, assumptions, limitations, and expected impact.
