Flat optics foresees a new era of ultra-compact optical devices, where metasurfaces serve as the foundation. Conventional designs of metasurfaces start with a certain structure as the prototype, followed by an extensive parametric sweep to accommodate the requirements of phase and amplitude of the emerging light. Regardless of how computation-consuming the process is, a predefined structure can hardly realize the independent control over the polarization, frequency, and spatial channels, which hinders the potential of metasurfaces to be multifunctional. Besides, achieving complicated and multiple functions calls for designing a meta-optic system with multiple cascading layers of metasurfaces, which introduces super exponential complexity. In this work we present an artificial intelligence framework for designing multilayer meta-optic systems with multifunctional capabilities. We demonstrate examples of a polarization-multiplexed dual-functional beam generator, a second order differentiator for all-optical computation, and a space-polarization-wavelength multiplexed hologram. These examples are barely achievable by single-layer metasurfaces and unattainable by traditional design processes.

Molecules composed of atoms exhibit properties not inherent to their constituent atoms. Similarly, meta-molecules consisting of multiple meta-atoms possess emerging features that the meta-atoms themselves do not possess. Metasurfaces composed of meta-molecules with spatially variant building blocks, such as gradient metasurfaces, are drawing substantial attention due to their unconventional controllability of the amplitude, phase, and frequency of light. However, the intricate mechanisms and the large degrees of freedom of the multi-element systems impede an effective strategy for the design and optimization of meta-molecules. Here, we propose a hybrid artificial intelligence-based framework consolidating compositional pattern-producing networks and cooperative coevolution to resolve the inverse design of meta-molecules in metasurfaces. The framework breaks the design of the meta-molecules into separate designs of meta-atoms, and independently solves the smaller design tasks of the meta-atoms through deep learning and evolutionary algorithms. We leverage the proposed framework to design metallic meta-molecules for arbitrary manipulation of the polarization and wavefront of light. Moreover, the efficacy and reliability of the design strategy are confirmed through experimental validations. This framework reveals a promising candidate approach to expedite the design of large-scale metasurfaces in a labor-saving, systematic manner.
Meta-learning, or learning to learn, has gained renewed interest in recent years within the artificial intelligence community. However, meta-learning is incredibly prevalent within nature, has deep roots in cognitive science and psychology, and is currently studied in various forms within neuroscience. The aim of this review is to recast previous lines of research in the study of biological intelligence within the lens of meta-learning, placing these works into a common framework. More recent points of interaction between AI and neuroscience will be discussed, as well as interesting new directions that arise under this perspective.
Diamond hosts optically active color centers with great promise in quantum computation, networking, and sensing. Realization of such applications is contingent upon the integration of color centers into photonic circuits. However, current diamond quantum optics experiments are restricted to single devices and few quantum emitters because fabrication constraints limit device functionalities, thus precluding color center integrated photonic circuits. In this work, we utilize inverse design methods to overcome constraints of cutting-edge diamond nanofabrication methods and fabricate compact and robust diamond devices with unique specifications. Our design method leverages advanced optimization techniques to search the full parameter space for fabricable device designs. We experimentally demonstrate inverse-designed photonic free-space interfaces as well as their scalable integration with two vastly different devices: classical photonic crystal cavities and inverse-designed waveguide-splitters. The multi-device integration capability and performance of our inverse-designed diamond platform represents a critical advancement toward integrated diamond quantum optical circuits.
Single-atom metal alloy catalysts (SAACs) have recently become a very active new frontier in catalysis research. The simultaneous optimization of both facile dissociation of reactants and a balanced strength of intermediates binding make them highly efficient and selective for many industrially important reactions. However, discovery of new SAACs is hindered by the lack of fast yet reliable prediction of the catalytic properties of the sheer number of candidate materials. In this work, we address this problem by applying a compressed-sensing data-analytics approach parameterized with density-functional inputs. Our approach is faster and more accurate than the current state-of-the-art linear relationships. Besides consistently predicting high efficiency of the experimentally studied Pd/Cu, Pt/Cu, Pd/Ag, Pt/Au, Pd/Au, Pt/Ni, Au/Ru, and Ni/Zn SAACs (the first metal is the dispersed component), we identify more than two hundred yet unreported candidates. Some of these new candidates are predicted to exhibit even higher stability and efficiency than the reported ones. Our study demonstrates the importance of breaking linear relationships to avoid bias in catalysis design, as well as provides a recipe for selecting best candidate materials from hundreds of thousands of transition-metal SAACs for various applications.
This article conducts a literature review of current and future challenges in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in cyber physical systems. The literature review is focused on identifying a conceptual framework for increasing resilience with AI through automation supporting both, a technical and human level. The methodology applied resembled a literature review and taxonomic analysis of complex internet of things (IoT) interconnected and coupled cyber physical systems. There is an increased attention on propositions on models, infrastructures and frameworks of IoT in both academic and technical papers. These reports and publications frequently represent a juxtaposition of other related systems and technologies (e.g. Industrial Internet of Things, Cyber Physical Systems, Industry 4.0 etc.). We review academic and industry papers published between 2010 and 2020. The results determine a new hierarchical cascading conceptual framework for analysing the evolution of AI decision-making in cyber physical systems. We argue that such evolution is inevitable and autonomous because of the increased integration of connected devices (IoT) in cyber physical systems. To support this argument, taxonomic methodology is adapted and applied for transparency and justifications of concepts selection decisions through building summary maps that are applied for designing the hierarchical cascading conceptual framework.
