Projekt
Coherent nanophotonic neural networks with adaptive molecular systems (C05)
Subject Area
Optics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Atoms, Molecules and Plasmas
Term
since 2021
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 433682494
This project targets the implementation and performance evaluation of elementary linear and nonlinear building blocks for coherent optical artificial neural networks. The focus will lie on integrating a large variety of nonlinear photo-responsive chemical and molecular systems developed within this CRC with nanophotonic devices that allow for straightforward replication. We will assess the characteristics of the resultant building blocks for dedicated training, regularization and explainable AI strategies to derive tailored analysis and optimization algorithms. This interdisciplinary combination will yield nanophotonic neural network components and accompanying digital twins that pave the way for large-scale artificial intelligence.
