Photonic computing questions answered: Lightmatter CEO

Four months ago I interviewed Lightmatter CEO Nick Harris on his photonic supercomputer. There are now almost 400K view and 2,600 comments ... with lots of questions. In this episode, Harris answers the biggest ones.  - is this real?  - does the chip do what Lightmatter says it will do?  - RGB vs CMYK?  - how do you do linear algebra with light?  - where can I get this?  - capacitance issues  - can it run DOOM?  - can it run Crysis?  - why hasn't NVIDIA done this already?  - how does this interface with quantum computing?  ... and much more.
