Neural Network Capacity for Multilevel Inputs

This paper examines the memory capacity of generalized neural networks. Hopfield networks trained with a variety of learning techniques are investigated for their capacity both for binary and non-binary alphabets. It is shown that the capacity can be much increased when multilevel inputs are used. New learning strategies are proposed to increase Hopfield network capacity, and the scalability of these methods is also examined in respect to size of the network. The ability to recall entire patterns from stimulation of a single neuron is examined for the increased capacity networks.

Memory Capacity of a Random Neural Network

This paper considers the problem of information capacity of a random neural network. The network is represented by matrices that are square and symmetrical. The matrices have a weight which determines the highest and lowest possible value found in the matrix. The examined matrices are randomly generated and analyzed by a computer program. We find the surprising result that the capacity of the network is a maximum for the binary random neural network and it does not change as the number of quantization levels associated with the weights increases.

Two-photon processes in faint biphoton fields

The goal of this research is to determine and study a physical system that will enable a fast and intrinsically two-photon detector, which would be of interest for quantum information and metrology applications. We consider two types of two-photon processes that can be observed using a very faint, but quantum-correlated biphoton field. These are optical up-conversion and an external photoelectric effect. We estimate the correlation enhancement factor for the biphoton light compared to coherent light, report and discuss the preliminary experimental results.
