Optical computing boost with diffractive network advance

Researchers extend spatially incoherent diffractive networks to perform complex-valued linear transformations with negligible error, opening up new applications in fields like autonomous vehicles. This breakthrough enables the encryption and decryption of complex-valued images using spatially incoherent diffractive networks.

Quantum theory needs complex numbers

Researchers demonstrate that quantum networks' predictions differ when postulates are phrased in real numbers. The study proposes an experimental setup involving two sources and three measurement nodes, where complex quantum theory's predictions cannot be expressed by their real counterparts.

Imaginary numbers protect AI from very real threats

Using complex-valued layers can improve performance against adversarial attacks without sacrificing efficiency. This technique, combined with gradient regularization, allows neural networks to resist small perturbations and maintain accuracy.

The imaginary part of quantum mechanics really exists!

A team of researchers from University of Warsaw and China found quantum states that can only be distinguished using complex numbers, proving their importance in quantum mechanics. Complex numbers were initially considered purely mathematical but have been shown to play a fundamental role in the theory.

Quantum mechanics are complex enough, for now...

Researchers have tested an alternative version of quantum mechanics that uses hyper-complex numbers, predicting new effects and commutation properties. The study found no need for these alternative rules to describe the experiment, but emphasizes the need for further testing.
