Graphene/silicon heterojunction for reconfigurable phase-relevant activation function in coherent optical neural networks

2023 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Optical neural networks (ONNs) herald a new era in information and communication technologies and have implemented various intelligent applications. In an ONN, the activation function (AF) is a crucial component determining the network performances and …

Anytime-Competitive Reinforcement Learning with Policy Prior

2023 · arXiv (Cornell University)

This paper studies the problem of Anytime-Competitive Markov Decision Process (A-CMDP). Existing works on Constrained Markov Decision Processes (CMDPs) aim to optimize the expected reward while constraining the expected cost over random dynamics, but the …

Demonstration of Quantum Generative Adversarial Network with a Silicon Photonic Chip

2024

We demonstrated a hybrid quantum-classical generative adversarial network (GAN) with a silicon photonic chip capable of generating arbitrary 2-qubit states. The chip was successfully applied for classical distribution loading and MNIST image generation.
