Abstract The distinctive characteristics of light, such as high-speed and low-loss propagation, low crosstalk and low power consumption, along with the unique quantum properties of photons, make it most suitable for various applications in communications, high-resolution imaging, optical computing and quantum information technologies. One limiting factor, however, is the weak optical nonlinearity of conventional media, which poses challenges for controlling light at ultralow intensities.

what I learned from the process Morris Yang · Follow 6 min read · -- In January 2025, I was shortlisted by the industry’s largest yield trading protocol (still waiting for the final call, lol). During the interview, I recalled several products I’d been involved with — some were side projects that never scaled. At one point, I realized I hadn’t deeply analyzed why these products failed (strategically or managerially), which inspired this blog.

Robin Wood begins the introduction to his 1965 book Hitchcock’s Films with a question: “Why should we take Hitchcock seriously?” It’s a deceptively simple query; as I glance at my book shelf, I see no less than 10 books on the filmmaker — Wood’s Hitchcock’s Films Revisited; Rohmer & Chabrol’s Hitchcock; A Hitchcock Reader, edited by Deutelbaum & Poague; Durgnat’s A Long, Hard Look at Psycho; the canonical long-form interview Hitchcock/Truffaut; Walker’s Hitchcock’s Motifs; Krohn’s Hitchcock...
