Synopsis

I will illustrate how approaches to neuromorphic computing based on the use of uncontrolled reservoirs could help enhancing our ability to to validate quantum processes and states, thus characterising delicate features such as the entanglement between quantum systems in an resource-economic manner.  I will show how the theoretical framework presented in this talk has been applied, quite successfully, to photonics-based quantum computers.
