For this selection , Dr. Shen Yichen said ：“‘ Global Youth Leaders ’ It's not just my personal honor , It is also Davos's recognition of the strength of the whole Xizhi technology team . The industry and even the world are beginning to pay attention to the development of photon computing, a cutting-edge technology , And begin to understand the great potential that photonic chips can unleash , I feel heartfelt joy and pride . As an important participant in this track , future , Xizhi technology will continue to use photon computing technology , Use more energy-efficient solutions for data centers 、 financial transactions 、 Biological medicine 、 Material research 、 Traffic control 、 Automatic driving and other application scenarios , Provide several times the performance of traditional electronic chips , At the same time, the cost of computing power is greatly reduced .”

The Global Youth Leadership Forum is organized by Klaus, founder and executive chairman of the world economic forum · Schwab （Klaus Schwab） On 2005 Year launch , The aim is to build a 30 to 40 Year old Global Youth Leadership Community , Reward them for their extraordinary achievements and influence in their respective fields , And cultivate their sense of responsibility and mission , To cope with increasingly complex global problems , Jointly create a better world with more sustainable development . according to the understanding of ,2022 year “ Global Youth Leaders ” The elected members are composed of 42 A country's 110 Composed of young people , They come from business 、 academic 、 The media 、 Non profit organizations 、 Culture, art, sports and other industries and fields .

Dr. Shen Yichen graduated from MIT , During reading, I focused on nano optics and artificial intelligence . With “ Using photons instead of electrons to run artificial intelligence algorithms , Optimize existing computing paradigms ” Target ,2017 year , Dr. Shen Yichen is the first author in 《 natural · The photon 》 The magazine published a publication called 《 Deep learning realized by nano optical circuit 》 The cover story of , In the same year, Xizhi Technology Co., Ltd. was established , Bring scientific research results to the market .

2019 year , Less than two years after the establishment of Xizhi Technology , The team released the world's first photonic chip prototype board , The whole photon computing system, which occupied half of the laboratory at that time, was successfully integrated into a conventional board , Verified the pioneering idea of using photons instead of electrons for high-performance computing , It has solved the problem of processing accuracy of photonic chip for the first time .

2021 year , On this basis , Xizhi technology team released high-performance photon computing processor PACE（Photonic Arithmetic Computing Engine, Photon computing engine ）. More than... Are integrated in a single photonic chip 10,000 Photonic devices , Can run 1GHz The system clock , The speed of running specific cyclic neural network can reach the current high-end GPU Hundreds of times .PACE The superiority of photon calculation is successfully verified , It has taken a big step forward in the whole photon computing industry .

stay PACE After successfully verifying the optical computing technology module , Xizhi technology will continue to focus on optical interconnection technology , Provide high throughput 、 Low latency and energy efficient data transmission and interconnection . The combination of optical computing and optical interconnection technology will be accelerator oriented 、 High performance products required by servers and data centers lay a solid foundation .

Xizhi technology plans to 2022 The first commercial optoelectronic hybrid computing chip was launched in .
