It could be right out of Back to the Future but a device known as a ‘quantum memristor’ has been invented to open up the possibility of building a ‘brainlike’ supercomputer. Let’s call it Orac, Blake’s 7 fans.
Artificial intelligence algorithms are based on mathematical models called neural networks, inspired by the biological structure of the human brain, which is made up of interconnected nodes (neurons).
A team of physicists at the University of Vienna have created a new quantum device called a quantum memristor, which could combine the worlds of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum technology. The experiment, which was carried out alongside the National Research Council (CNR) and the Politecnic
