Last week I had the pleasure of moderating a webinar panel session that looked at the future of computer technology beyond the current era of ever shrinking silicon transistors as defined by Moore’s law.
Called “More than Moore”, the webinar featured three panellists working in neuromorphic computing, a field that seeks to create information processing systems that mimic the human brain. We were also joined by a physicist who believes that quantum computing will play a role in the information processing of the future.
The panellists were Steve Furber of the UK’s University of Manchester, who does research on neural systems engineering; Chaoran Huang of the The Chinese University of Hong Kong, who works on silicon photonics, photonic integrated circuits, and nonlinear optics; Bhavin Shastri at Canada’s Queen’s University, who designs and builds programmable nanophotonic processors; and Renbao Liu of the The Chinese University of Hong Kong, who works on quantum nonlinear spectroscopy.
Lively and fascinating
It was a lively and fascinating discussion and I learned a lot about both neuromorphic and quantum computing. You can watch the webinar free of charge, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.
