Over 80% of computing power goes to moving electrons — not thinking. The AI industry faces a thermodynamic crisis, and silicon has no answers. This episode traces three labs rewriting the rules: → Beijing: A Coherent Ising Machine using femtosecond lasers that weaponize quantum noise to find true global solutions → Berlin: Akatonix's XPU — a logic gate with zero electrons and zero heat. Time-of-flight computation. → Toronto: Xanadu weaving fault-tolerant quantum computers from entangled squeezed light. Physics stopped fighting. It started answering. 🍎 Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/heliox-where-evidence-meets-empathy/id1769969487?i=1000774347211 🎵 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/7nbzxDo15SDyWnijSj1HTs?si=39ad6f4715bd4e72 ▶️ YouTube https://youtu.be/DYhHSh7IUpM 🎧 Listen: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2405788/episodes/19396999 📖 Read: https://helioxpodcast.substack.com/publish/post/203431780 📻 Available for Broadcast on PRX https://exchange.prx.org/p/624290 @XanaduAI @mastodon.social @NaturePhotonics @mastodon.online @IEEESpectrum @mastodon.social #OpticalComputing #QuantumComputing #SciencePodcast #PhotonicAI #AIEnergy #FemtosecondLasers #IsingMachine #OpenScience #HelioxPodcast #SciComm #TechPodcast #LightBasedComputing #CanadaPodcast
