Such quantum hardware holds promise as a platform for tackling problems intractable to classical computing hardware. While the demonstration of a universal, fault-tolerant, quantum computer remains a goal for the future, it has informed the design of a prototype with which we have recently controlled a quantum system of unprecedented scale.

Another study shows that accommodation is actually more accurate than previously thoughts. Both findings have implications for the design of AR/VR displays.Authors: Martin Banks, University of California Berkeley

   OASys: Envisioning an Opto-electronic Accelerator for Deep Learning Applications

   Presenter: Youchao Wang , University of Cambridge

    Presentation Details   Paper

   We propose OASys, an Opto-electronic Accelerator System, for efficient deep learning acceleration. The system takes on a full-stack architectural design approach and combines the power of Fourier optics and conventional FPGAs.Authors: Youchao Wang, University of Cambridge / Timothy Wilkinson, University of Cambridge

   Photonic Weight Banks Based on Multimode Fiber for Neuromorphic Networks

   Presenter: Taichu Shi , Rowan University

    Presentation Details   Paper

   We demonstrate a photonic weight bank for neuromorphic computing by using multimode fibers. Weights control for multiple inputs of a photonic neuron are achieved by tuning the coupling power to the modes in multimode fibers.Authors: Taichu Shi, Rowan University / Nico Veneziano, Rowan University / Yang Qi, Rowan University / Haoshuo Chen, Nokia Bell Labs / Nicolas Fontaine, Nokia Bell Labs / Roland Ryf, Nokia Bell Labs / David Neilson, Nokia Bell Labs / Ben Wu, Rowan University

   Electro-Optical Hybrid Fourier Neural Network with Amplitude-Only Modulation

   Presenter: Zibo Hu , George Washington University

    Presentation Details   Paper

   We demonstrate an electro-optical hybrid massively-parallel Fourier Neural Network exploiting Digital Micromirror Devices performing amplitude-only filter, achieving 9.5kHz, preserving the inference accuracy level similar to phase-based approaches.Authors: Zibo Hu, George Washington University / Mario Miscuglio, University of California, Los Angeles / Shurui Li, University of California, Los Angeles / Jonathan George, George Washington University / Puneet Gupta, University of California, Los Angeles / Volker Sorger, George Washington University

   Single-pixel Visual Cryptography

   Presenter: Shuming Jiao , Shenzhen University

    Presentation Details   Paper

   Two novel visual cryptography (VC) schemes are proposed by combining VC with single-pixel imaging (SPI) for the first time. VC can be optically implemented in both object images and illumination patterns.Authors: Shuming Jiao, Shenzhen University / Jun Feng, Shenzhen University / Yang Gao, Shenzhen University / Ting Lei, Shenzhen University / Xiaocong Yuan, Shenzhen University

   Coherent imaging through scatter using an interpretable deep neural network

   Presenter: Yunzhe Li , Boston University

    Presentation Details   Paper

   We propose a deep neural network model that is agnostic to scatter displacements, and system defocus up to 10X depth of field. We develop an analysis framework for interpreting the mechanism of our DNN model.Authors: Yunzhe Li, Boston University / Shiyi Cheng, Boston University / Yujia Xue, Boston University / Lei Tian, Boston University

   Resolution Enhancement in Ghost Imaging by Random Mask Filtering

   Presenter: Chen Chang , Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications

    Presentation Details   Paper

   Improving the image resolution is one of the most important issues in ghost imaging. By adding a randomly occurred mask to filter the outputs of both reference and signal detection, the resolution can be improved.Authors: Chen Chang, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications / Dongyue Yang, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications / Guohua Wu, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications / Bin Luo, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications / longfei yin, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications
