Abstract
I will overview our work on analog neural networks based on photonics and other controllable physical systems. I will show how backpropagation can efficiently train physical neural networks (PNNs), and how to design physical network architectures for physics-based machine learning. I will review our work showing how nonlinear photonic neural networks may enhance computational sensing and how photonic neural networks may be operated robustly deep into low-energy regimes where quantum noise would ordinarily be a limiting factor. Finally, I will show that PNNs offer fundamental advantages for scaling AI models such as Transformers.
