Features: A highly engaging book that integrates several of the most important contemporary fields, from information theory and quantum optics to perceptual physiology. Reading this book is a pleasure, as it shares a vision for the future in a remarkably clear and elegant style.
● Light Speed Thinking is considered the theoretical foundation of optical computers, an unprecedented story about artificial intelligence, and a tale of how the world we live in is undergoing revolutionary changes because of it.
● Author David D. Nolty, Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, professor of physics at Purdue University, a leading researcher in optical materials and device physics, and holder of several U.S. patents for adaptive holographic films. He was elected a Fellow of the Optical Society of America and awarded the Presidential Young Investigator Award by the National Science Foundation for his pioneering work in dynamic holography of semiconductor nanostructures.
● It integrates several of the most important contemporary fields, from information theory, quantum optics to perceptual physiology, sharing a vision for the future in a remarkably clear and elegant style, revealing the future of human life and intelligence from the perspective of cutting-edge technology.
● Elegant, poetic, yet precise in its fundamental scientific descriptions, the chapter on optical communication technology in this book should be a mandatory reading for introductory courses in physics and engineering.
