Quantum neuromorphic computing physically implements neural networks in brain-inspired quantum hardware to speed up their computation. In this perspective article, we show that this emerging paradigm could make the best use of the existing and near future intermediate size quantum computers. Some approaches are based on parametrized quantum circuits, and use neural network-inspired algorithms to train them. Other approaches, closer to classical neuromorphic computing, take advantage of the physical properties of quantum oscillator assemblies to mimic neurons and compute. We discuss the different implementations of quantum neuromorphic networks with digital and analog circuits, highlight their respective advantages, and review exciting recent experimental results.

This paper presents the concepts behind the BrainScales (BSS) accelerated analog neuromorphic computing architecture. It describes the second-generation BrainScales-2 (BSS-2) version and its most recent in-silico realization, the HICANN-X Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), as it has been developed as part of the neuromorphic computing activities within the European Human Brain Project (HBP). While the first generation is implemented in an 180nm process, the second generation uses 65nm technology. This allows the integration of a digital plasticity processing unit, a highly-parallel micro processor specially built for the computational needs of learning in an accelerated analog neuromorphic systems. The presented architecture is based upon a continuous-time, analog, physical model implementation of neurons and synapses, resembling an analog neuromorphic accelerator attached to build-in digital compute cores. While the analog part emulates the spike-based dynamics of the neural network in continuous-time, the latter simulates biological processes happening on a slower time-scale, like structural and parameter changes. Compared to biological time-scales, the emulation is highly accelerated, i.e. all time-constants are several orders of magnitude smaller than in biology. Programmable ion channel emulation and inter-compartmental conductances allow the modeling of nonlinear dendrites, back-propagating action-potentials as well as NMDA and Calcium plateau potentials. To extend the usability of the analog accelerator, it also supports vector-matrix multiplication. Thereby, BSS-2 supports inference of deep convolutional networks as well as local-learning with complex ensembles of spiking neurons within the same substrate.
Machine learning software applications are nowadays ubiquitous in many fields of science and society for their outstanding capability of solving computationally vast problems like the recognition of patterns and regularities in big datasets. One of t he main goals of research is the realization of a physical neural network able to perform data processing in a much faster and energy-efficient way than the state-of-the-art technology. Here we show that lattices of exciton-polariton condensates accomplish neuromorphic computing using fast optical nonlinearities and with lower error rate than any previous hardware implementation. We demonstrate that our neural network significantly increases the recognition efficiency compared to the linear classification algorithms on one of the most widely used benchmarks, the MNIST problem, showing a concrete advantage from the integration of optical systems in reservoir computing architectures.
Modern computation based on the von Neumann architecture is today a mature cutting-edge science. In this architecture, processing and memory units are implemented as separate blocks interchanging data intensively and continuously. This data transfer is responsible for a large part of the power consumption. The next generation computer technology is expected to solve problems at the exascale. Even though these future computers will be incredibly powerful, if they are based on von Neumann type architectures, they will consume between 20 and 30 megawatts of power and will not have intrinsic physically built-in capabilities to learn or deal with complex and unstructured data as our brain does. Neuromorphic computing systems are aimed at addressing these needs. The human brain performs about 10^15 calculations per second using 20W and a 1.2L volume. By taking inspiration from biology, new generation computers could have much lower power consumption than conventional processors, could exploit integrated non-volatile memory and logic, and could be explicitly designed to support dynamic learning in the context of complex and unstructured data. Among their potential future applications, business, health care, social security, disease and viruses spreading control might be the most impactful at societal level. This roadmap envisages the potential applications of neuromorphic materials in cutting edge technologies and focuses on the design and fabrication of artificial neural systems. The contents of this roadmap will highlight the interdisciplinary nature of this activity which takes inspiration from biology, physics, mathematics, computer science and engineering. This will provide a roadmap to explore and consolidate new technology behind both present and future applications in many technologically relevant areas.
We propose that neuromorphic computing can perform quantum operations. Spiking neurons in the active or silent states are connected to the two states of Ising spins. A quantum density matrix is constructed from the expectation values and correlations of the Ising spins. As a step towards quantum computation we show for a two qubit system that quantum gates can be learned as a change of parameters for neural network dynamics. Our proposal for probabilistic computing goes beyond Markov chains, which are based on transition probabilities. Constraints on classical probability distributions relate changes made in one part of the system to other parts, similar to entangled quantum systems.
Brain-inspired neuromorphic computing which consist neurons and synapses, with an ability to perform complex information processing has unfolded a new paradigm of computing to overcome the von Neumann bottleneck. Electronic synaptic memristor devices which can compete with the biological synapses are indeed significant for neuromorphic computing. In this work, we demonstrate our efforts to develop and realize the graphene oxide (GO) based memristor device as a synaptic device, which mimic as a biological synapse. Indeed, this device exhibits the essential synaptic learning behavior including analog memory characteristics, potentiation and depression. Furthermore, spike-timing-dependent-plasticity learning rule is mimicked by engineering the pre- and post-synaptic spikes. In addition, non-volatile properties such as endurance, retentivity, multilevel switching of the device are explored. These results suggest that Ag/GO/FTO memristor device would indeed be a potential candidate for future neuromorphic computing applications.
