Abstract

A multilayer MIMD data-flow processor using spectral hole burning, photon echo, mutually coherent reconstruction beams for holograms, and algorithmic origami is sketched very roughly. It should allow low power consumption, significant parallelism, great flexibility, and high speed (picosecond gates). More importantly, it may allow us practical access to the high resolution of molecules relative to wires and beams of light.
