Photonic Reservoir Computing

Research Area: Neuromorphic computing enabled by integrated photonics

Main Researcher: Peter Bienstman

Reservoir computing is a recently proposed methodology from the field of machine learning and neural networks, which has been used successfully in several pattern classification problems, like speech and image recognition. However, it has so far been used mainly in a software implementation, which limits its speed and power efficiency. Photonics could provide an excellent platform for such a hardware implementation, because of the presence of unique non-linear dynamics in photonics components due to the interplay of photons and electrons, and because light also has a phase in addition to an amplitude, which provides for an important additional degree of freedom as opposed to a purely electronic hardware implementation.

This research is supported by an ERC starting grant and happens in close collaboration with the Reservoir lab at the Elis department.
