The overarching goal of the PhotonicQRC project is to realize photonic quantum reservoir computing (QRC) operating as a fully functional next-generation neural network (NN) computing system exploiting quantum physics. Leveraging advantages unique to photonics enables the scalable parallelism essential to implement network-based computing, while quantum hardware brings exponential dimensionality of a Hilbert space to NNs. PhotonicQRC will strengthen the role of France and Germany on the global landscape in novel quantum computing by (1) developing quantum NN architectures optimized for photonic hardware, (2) establishing a fundamental understanding of QRC prospects and limitations based on extensive theoretical investigations that take imperfections of the photonic hardware platforms into account, (3) extending quantum computing (QC) hardware by demonstrating the uniquely hardware-friendly concept of reservoir computing (RC) in a novel quantum context, and (4) introducing benchmark evaluations and tests to demonstrating quantum advantage for RC. The impact of our interdisciplinary project will therefore go far beyond the QC and NN communities.

PhotonicQRC项目的首要目标是实现光子量子库计算（QRC），作为利用量子物理学的全功能下一代神经网络（NN）计算系统。利用光子学特有的优势，实现了实现基于网络的计算所必需的可扩展并行性，而量子硬件为NN带来了希尔伯特空间的指数维数。PhotonicQRC将通过以下方式加强法国和德国在新型量子计算全球格局中的作用：（1）开发针对光子硬件优化的量子NN架构，（2）基于广泛的理论研究建立对QRC前景和局限性的基本理解，这些理论研究考虑到光子硬件平台的不完善性，（3）通过在新的量子环境中展示库计算（RC）的独特硬件友好概念来扩展量子计算（QC）硬件，以及（4）引入基准评估和测试来展示RC的量子优势。因此，我们跨学科项目的影响将远远超出QC和NN社区。
