Coherent Network Computing,
2022

The conference will take place at Stanford University, at
Allen Extension Building (Allen X), Auditorium - 101X,
from Oct 24-26, 2022.
Lodging for invited speakers will be provided at Stanford Guest House, SLAC. The conference will also provide travel support for a limited number of student attendees.
The conference is open to submissions. Each requires a 1 page abstract. A portion of submissions will be to give talks, while others will be to present posters.
CNC2022 encompasses fundamental principles, device physics, implementation architectures, and algorithms for novel computing machines that utilize analog physical dynamics to perform or accelerate optimization, learning, computational sensing, and neuromorphic information processing.
Approaches that leverage coherent coupling – including physical fields-as-signals, phase-sensitive electronics, or quantum degrees-of-freedom – to create networks with programmable computational behaviors are of particular interest. Likewise, principled frameworks for characterizing the practical advantages of such novel analog computers in real-world applications will be addressed.
- Devices and architectures for physical neural networks, optimizers, and learning machines
- Physics of coherent feedback, classical-to-quantum crossover, chaotic search
- Fundamental analysis of information dynamics in quantum and nonlinear systems
- Heterogeneous architectures such as classical-quantum hybrids or coherent reservoir computers
