Only till about 3 years ago, the term Tablet Computer did not ring any bells in the heads of people. Before that, these devices were used in certain technology fields by a handful of designers, engineers, etc. Things have changed drastically since then as tablet PCs have now become a mainstream gadget which can be found in many households.

What if all the light bulbs in the world could also transmit data? Well, a Prof. in Scotland has presented this concept and it won’t be long till it turns into reality.

Scope: Wireless transmission has become part of our lives like electricity and water. We need it for our daily activities of communicating via cell phones, watching TV, using the internet, etc. The already in use radio transmission has proven to be an inefficient system over the years with a net efficiency of ~ 5%.

In today’s offshore software development scenario there is growing dependence on computing technology, the need for high performance computers has significantly increased. With the help of virtual product design and development, costs can be reduced hence looking for improved computing capabilities are desirability. Photonic computing includes the photonic calculation of transformation and photonic pattern matching. Emerging technologies also make the photonic storage of data, a reality. A photonic desktop computer is capable of processing data up to 1,00,000 times faster than current models. Outsourced software development companies can gain a lot of efficiency by using Photonic computers.

Quantum computing is completely a new ball game. A quantum computer is a new type of computer that uses the unusual properties of quantum physics to solve problems that are impossible for regular computers. They do this by using qubits instead of bits. Like bits, qubits can represent one or zero. What makes them special is that a qubit can be one, zero or a superposition of both. A qubit can be both one and zero at the same time, which makes quantum computers exponentially more powerful than their conventional counterparts.
