Sajeev John, a professor and scientist who developed a way to confine and control light, similar to the way electrons are controlled in electronics, has been awarded Canada's top science prize.
"Thanks to his discoveries, it may be possible to process information optically rather than electronically, enabling a supercomputing technology more stable and scalable than quantum computers," said a statement from NSERC.
