“Obviously, the setup is vastly larger and more complex than the simple arrangement of transistors used for conventional logic gates, and shrinking it down to the scales required to make practical chips will be a mammoth task.”

Just need some yet invented nanolasers for this to work I guess, but this is still a fascinating approach.

What if they shrink this technology, yet to the size greater than modern chips and we land with equivalent of 50's main-frames, but much faster? Of course I have no idea on energies required, speed/size-distance trade-offs, etc.
