Connectionists: Announcing the Structures - IWH symposium "Beyond Digital Computing: The power of quantum and Neural networks" (19 - 21 March 2018)

[Sebastian Schmitt]

Dear Colleagues,

We kindly invite you to join us at the international symposium “Beyond
Digital Computing: The Power of Quantum and Neural Networks”.

The full simulation of complex systems, both in the classical and
quantum regime, is far beyond the capabilities of current computing
schemes. Recent proposals aim to push the boundaries of computability
with hybrid strategies based on machine learning, network theory,
neuromorphic hardware, and quantum simulation. Our international
symposium aims to bring together experts at different stages in their
careers to explore novel ways in which to harness the full potential of
these emerging architectures.

The symposium will be held on March 19 – 21, 2018 at the International
Academic Forum Heidelberg, the flagship conference venue of Heidelberg
University. (http://www.iwh.uni-hd.de/index_engl.html).

More information about the symposium, list of invited speakers, and
application are available at the symposium’s website:

Please feel free to share this announcement with your colleagues and
students.

Kind regards,

Sebastian Schmitt
