Voice tools
• Google voice to voice translation– Speak press a button, instant translation– Listen to foreign speaker, press button for
translation– Works for 14 languages
• Mobile connections– 6 billion later this year – near world coverage
numerically• So translation is important
Mobile Connections
Quantum computers
• Using nitrogen vacancy diamond• Photonic quantum computing– Difficult to process and measure single photons
efficiently– Solutions uses lasers to drive coherent conversion
between states
Race toward exaflop computer
• Fujitsu (commercially available)– Scalable to 23 petaflops
• IBM Blue Gene/Q– Scalable to 100 petaflops
Communications
• Spin lasers
Massively parallel molecular circuits
Printable, wearable, stretchable
• Printed Logic with Printed Memory• Stretchable Graphene Transistors with Printed
Dielectrics and Gate Electrodes• Stretchy Skin-like Sensor arrays• Ultra-thin, ultra-flexible brain implants
Printed Logic wied Memory
Artificial Diamond Light Semiconductor
Chip models neurons at synapse level
Quad Core Snapdragon
Device Development
• Magnetic cloaking (anti-magnet)• Spin on spin computing• Weaving nanotube products• Flexible stretchable nanotube backplane
matrix• 10 billion bits per second transmission at 3
orders of magnitude less power
