I’m still pretty sure that they’ve never completely dropped the ball on the optical computer that Terry Turpin was brought in for back when
Bless you, Johnny Lightwave, but could you help a sinful doubter regain the faith?
As you know, I suppose, each one of Turpin's photon computers was made by hand with excruciating difficulty and yet it was pure lunacy to drop development of such an incredible tool that has far greater potential than the colorfully named quantum computers.
I imagine there remain efforts behind very high walls here and over there [primarily China] to build a photonic computer without the invaluable ingredient LWLG has.
As always, just my opinion.
Best, Terry
