Quantum Error Corrected Quantum Convolutional Neural Network

Advancements in machine learning have made it a crucial technology across many domains, from signal processing to healthcare. However, machine learning procedures suffer from gradient vanishing in high-dimensional parameter spaces and from quadratic sample sizes and training times for certain tasks. On the other hand, quantum computing offers exponential computational speedups for a family of problems. The combination of these two technologies, termed quantum machine learning, promises...

Role of DNA Methylation [in Epigenetics and Inheritance]

Holliday, Pugh, and Riggs proposed the idea that DNA methylation was palindromic, acted as an epigenetic mark, and that distinct enzymes were responsible for methylation of both modified and unmodified DNA already methylated on one strand. This idea was in response to Ohno et al. 1959; Lyon 1961, where X chromosome inactivation...

Multi-scale Entanglement Renormalization Ansatz

Entanglement renormalization is a numerical technique that locally reorganizes the Hilbert space of a quantum many-body system to reduce entanglement in its wave function. It addresses the computational challenges of real-space renormalization group RG methods, which struggle with the rapid growth of degrees of freedom during successive RG transformations. The key idea is...

Ecosystem Simulation

A simulation where animals roam, eat, drink, and reproduce without any explicit rules. Their brain allows them to explore, experience, make choices, and learn in their procedurally generated world. You also have a cat companion named Nibbler.

City Simulation

Rebuilds any real address from the United States using OpenStreetMap buildings, streets, water, and trees so you can walk it in first person, and fills it with people whose two-lobe spiking neural network brains learn from their city, instead of following scripts, to see what emergent behavior occurs. Enter an address or select one from the list.
