Quantum correlations and artificial intelligence by L. B. Boldyreva, E. Yu. Belova

“…The benefits of using quantum correlations in such process include: high degree of information protection both on the physical level (electric and magnetic noise does not affect quantum correlations) and on the level of confidentiality preservation of information transmitted (any external interference results in data corruption without information disclosure); the possibility of full automation of information transmission process; the process is dissipation free (which follows from that the quantum correlations are performed between the quantum obj ects described by the same wave function); high speed of information transmission (higher than the speed of light). …”

Synaptic transistor implementing potentiation or depression via field distribution modulation of dual dielectric layers by single-polarity pulsed voltage stimuli by Jieun Kim, Jung Wook Lim, Chohyeon Park, Chaerin Yu, Jaehee Lee

“…In this device, the thickness of the Al2O3 layer determines the synaptic behavior; increasing the Al2O3 thickness increases the voltage across Al2O3 but decreases the voltage across the SiOx layer. Therefore, the electric field distribution determines whether conduction is primarily driven by trapped holes from the charge-storage layer or electrons in the TiO2 channel. …”

Multi-label classification with deep learning techniques applied to the B-Scan images of GPR by El Karakhi, Soukayna, Reineix, Alain, Guiffaut, Christophe

“…For example, in the case of buried pipes, a specific processing allows to find their diameter, their nature as well as the electrical characteristics of the ground. However, these approaches often require complex post-processing of the Bscan, which can be time-consuming and therefore makes it difficult to perform real-time characterization at the expense of such methods. …”
