This has the advantage that many physical systems exhibit precisely the type of nonlinear input-output relationships necessary for them to function as reservoirs. Consequently, the quantum effects which obstruct the further development of silicon electronics become an advantage for a reservoir computer. Here we demonstrate that even the most basic constituents of matter\u2013atoms\u2013can act as a reservoir for computing where all input-output processing is optical, thanks to the phenomenon of High Harmonic Generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>face_with_colon_three year 2023.
