Abstract Over the past decade, photonics research has explored accelerated tensor operations, foundational to artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning1,2,3,4, as a path towards enhanced energy efficiency and performance5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14. The field is centrally motivated by finding alternative technologies to extend computational progress in a post-Moore’s law and Dennard scaling era15,16,17,18,19.

In the weeks leading to  California’s June 5 primary elections, candidates for key statewide offices are spending massive amounts of money to position themselves for victory, according to the latest reports from the California Secretary of State. The figures reflect the kind of investments needed to run a campaign in a state with over 18 million registered voters. In a single month — from April 22 to May 19 — a total of nearly $35 million was spent to promote the candidacies of  Democrats Lt. Gov.

Up until 2011, Oregon was the only state in the country that did all of its elections entirely by mail. Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown said the state got the idea for an entirely postal voting system from a surprising source: San Diego. State Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez recently proposed a bill that would allow California counties to conduct special elections entirely by mail. But the city of San Diego already has the power to conduct elections completely by mail with a City Council decree.
