>> Because the laser pulse is so fast, the water can switch states in a matter of picoseconds, which are trillionths of a second. This translates to potential computer speeds in the terahertz (THz) range – that’s 1,000 GHz, This in not comparable to transistors in a computer. Transistors use charge (electrons) to switch current (electrons) in order to build boolean gates and logic circuits. Those lasers are probably not optically controlled, and even if they were and could be made into optical logic circuits, their speed will be limited by their size and the speed of light.
