047 Neuroscience & Quantum Computing Beyond 6G Networks
TECHNOLOGY FOCUS
In the evolution of Network Sciences, the involvement of AI becomes more and more visible for designing, deploying, and operating complex networks. In this segment researchers are also looking into the possibility of exploiting the results from neuroscience and brain operation to enhance the efficiency of artificial neural networks. In practical implementations, this is usually combined with involvement of advanced technologies based on quantum computing.
In order to present these efforts in an integral form, the course starts with an introduction to quantum (q-) computing. Then, before we discuss an artificial quantum neuron, we first describe some physical processes in brain and discuss in depth the interdisciplinary research of neuroscience, network science, and dynamic systems, with emphasis on the emergence of brain‐inspired intelligence.
To replicate brain intelligence, a practical way is to reconstruct cortical networks with dynamic activities that nourish the brain functions, instead of using only artificial computing networks. Here we provide a complex network and spatiotemporal dynamics (referred to as network dynamics) perspective for understanding the brain and cortical networks and develop integrated approaches of neuroscience and network dynamics toward building brain‐inspired intelligence with learning and resilience functions. For this we need to cover issues such as fundamental concepts and principles of complex networks, neuroscience, and hybrid dynamic systems, as well as relevant studies about the brain and intelligence. Other promising research directions, such as brain science, data science, quantum information science, and machine behavior are also briefly discussed toward future applications.
