Introduction

Today’s computation, based on parallel processing of information, is reaching its physical limitations. Novel solutions are to be found in the near future to overcome such major hurdles.

Project Goals

This project aims to achieve the first proof-of-concept of a Quantum Reservoir Computing (QRC) scheme based on networks of Quantum Materials (QMs) defects. This will enable the fabrication of prototypical computing devices.

Engineering Defect Networks

The engineering of defect network characteristics such as:

• Density
• Defect typology

will allow tailoring the defects’ network physical properties, and ultimately its neuromorphic and computing complexity.

Feasibility and Impact

The project is feasible yet groundbreaking because it capitalizes on the very different expertises, both experimental and theoretical, comprised within the partners’ consortium. All of these are required to implement a novel QRC scheme.

Conclusion

As such, this project will result in unprecedented characteristics that extend the conventional boundaries of ICT electronic devices and systems, paving the way for the development of novel Quantum Technologies.
