2004 - present
Postdoctoral-level technical assessment of leading initiatives across East Asia. Travels
to university and national research centers in the region. Provided timely, incisive analysis to national policy and funding agency directors under ćgis of US quantum information science program.
Backpropagation in Adaptive Quantum Networks, with Roman Zapatrin. NATO Advanced Research Workshop, Villa Cagnola, Italy and International Journal of Theoretical Physics. We introduced backpropagation training to adaptive quantum networks. The algorithm provides quantitative, numerical indications for optimization of both network topology and single-neuron activation functions, for prospective implementation in condensed matter and quantum information processing systems.
