Hi all,
Matthias will speak at the group meeting tomorrow. His title and abstract can be found
below. We will meet in SS571 at 2:30. Please be on time. If you would like to join the
meeting via Skype, let me know.
Best,

Title: An Artificial Spiking Quantum Neuron
Abstract: One of the goals in quantum machine learning is to establish an analog to
classical neural networks. Several groups have put forward proposals for quantum neurons.
This work is different from these proposals in the fact that it incorporates a temporal
character in the firing of the neuron. This makes it behave similar to spiking neurons
from neuromorphic approaches to machine learning. The temporal character is achieved by
implementing the neurons as small spin chains with a driving interaction with the output
qubit. Besides quantum neural nets, this neuron has potential in quantum communication as
a state comparator. To demonstrate this, we show the capability of this neuron to
distinguish between Bell pairs.
