I actually think we should be revisiting PMT photomultipler tube construction, and electron-"optical" matrix multiplication.

The annoying part of optical matrix multiplication is the conversion from electronic to optic and back.

Why not use electron-optics for matrix multiplication and use dynodes for amplification.
