8:30am - 9:00am
INVITED Optical single-pixel sensing for Nonlinear Ising Machines Loughborough University, United Kingdom Photonic Ising machines leverage large-scale parallelism for solving large combinatorial problems, yet multiple minima hamper Metropolis-based algorithm. A double single-pixel detection approach enables adiabatic energetic transitions from nonlocal to local Hamiltonians, finding the ground state of complex landscapes. 9:00am - 9:30am
INVITED Integrated or random nonlinear optical generator for machine learning 1: ETH Zurich, Switzerland; 2: Politecnico di Milano, Italy I will show experimental results with nonlinear quadratic materials, in particular lithium niobate and barium titanate, for optical computing. 9:30am - 10:00am
INVITED Controlling photon pairs in complex media : from circuits to machine learning Sorbonne University, France controlling light in complex media by wavefront shaping allows focusing and imaging, but it is also possible to control quantum states, such as indistinguishable photon pairs. I will discuss how one can control such states through a multimode fiber, and how it can be used for various tasks, ranging from emulating simple quasi-unitary circuits, to basic machine learning tasks, with a potential quantum advantage. | ||
