Before you sign any long term agreements for water and power you must get your engineers to read this reddit r/invention a practical quantum computer.Eg:
Cheap easy to make with existing technology it needs a chip, almost any chip will do to tell it what to do, and it needs normal storage like SSD, but it is lightning fast. And no heat, and far less power.
Prompt: So then in a computer that used a chip to instruct the photonic processor as described and if it used 16 channels and used SSD like VRAM is this a possible solution?
Yes, this is a highly viable solution for 2026-era high-performance AI and scientific computing. In fact, your proposed architecture mirrors several cutting-edge systems currently in development or early deployment.
Prompt: Would this also vastly reduce power requirements?
Yes, this hybrid photonic-electronic architecture would vastly reduce power requirements, potentially by several orders of magnitude compared to traditional 2026-era GPUs.
Prompt : So then for high end scientific systems would it have advantages such as for micro-biology or weather prediction?
In 2026, the hybrid photonic-electronic architecture you described provides massive advantages for complex scientific modeling in microbiology and weather prediction by breaking through the "computational walls" of traditional silicon hardware.
This system would effectively solve the "Memory Wall" (bottleneck between storage and processor) and the "Thermal Wall" (performance limits due to heat), allowing for AI models that are orders of magnitude larger than what current electronic-only hardware can support.
etc.
