Creating an optical computer  Note on creating an optical computer.  What is Optical Computer? A laptop is a microchip based computer and uses electricity and transisters to compute. An optical computer uses photons to compute.  How does it compare to a typical laptop? A modern desktop computer has about 5 TFLOPS (5 x 10^16 floating calculations per second). With an optical computer, there is no limit in the calcuations per second.   Is an optical computer faster than a quantuam computer?  In 2016, the fastest known quantum computer has 2000 qubits, which is 1000 faster than 512 qubits.  With an optical computer, there is no artificial limitation like 2000 or 500 qubits.   What's the theoretical compute limit on an optical computer?  There is a limit of speed of light. For now, the only artificial limitation is how we design the first prototype.  How much electricity energy does it require?  The first POC should use less than 1000 W/hr.  Has there been any prior inventions or work
