What should a linear optical frontend compute? Assessing the role of meta-optics, nonlocality, and coherence in hybrid inference systems

Nicholas Behrens, Yandong Li, Francesco Monticone

Hybrid inference systems that pair an optical frontend with a digital backend offer a route to offload computation to the physical layer. Yet what the optics should compute, and wh…
