Research over the past few years has shown that the answer to all these questions is likely "yes, with enough research": PNNs could one day radically change what is possible and practical for AI systems.

We experimentally demonstrated MNIST classification with a test accuracy of 98% using an optical neural network with a hidden layer operating in the single-photon regime; the optical energy used to perform the classification corresponds to 0. 008 photons per multiply-accumulate (MAC) operation, which is equivalent to 0. 003 attojoules of optical energy per MAC.

We conclude that with well-engineered, large-scale optical hardware, it may be possible to achieve a $100 \times$ energy-efficiency advantage for running some of the largest current Transformer models, and that if both the models and the optical hardware are scaled to the quadrillion-parameter regime, optical computers could have a $>8, 000\times$ energy-efficiency advantage over state-of-the-art digital-electronic processors that achieve 300 fJ/MAC.

Here, we experimentally demonstrate an optical neural network achieving 99% accuracy on handwritten-digit classification using ~3. 2 detected photons per weight multiplication and ~90% accuracy using ~0. 64 photons (~$2. 4 \times 10^{-19}$ J of optical energy) per weight multiplication.

Ultra-short pulses propagating in nonlinear nanophotonic waveguides can simultaneously leverage both temporal and spatial field confinement, promising a route towards single-photon nonlinearities in an all-photonic platform.
