Photons guided by axons may enable backpropagation-based learning in the brain
Parisa Zarkeshian, Taylor Kergan, Roohollah Ghobadi +2
Despite great advances in explaining synaptic plasticity and neuron function, a complete understanding of the brain's learning algorithms is still missing. Artificial neural networ…
Understanding quantum physics through simple experiments: from wave-particle duality to Bell's theorem
Ish Dhand, Adam D'Souza, Varun Narasimhachar +5
Quantum physics, which describes the strange behavior of light and matter at the smallest scales, is one of the most successful descriptions of reality, yet it is notoriously inacc…
Are there optical communication channels in the brain?
Parisa Zarkeshian, Sourabh Kumar, Jack Tuszynski +2
Despite great progress in neuroscience, there are still fundamental unanswered questions about the brain, including the origin of subjective experience and consciousness. Some answ…
Entanglement between more than two hundred macroscopic atomic ensembles in a solid
P. Zarkeshian, C. Deshmukh, N. Sinclair +12
We create a multi-partite entangled state by storing a single photon in a crystal that contains many large atomic ensembles with distinct resonance frequencies. The photon is re-em…
The Kitaev-Ising model, Transition between topological and ferromagnetic order
Vahid Karimipour, Laleh Memarzadeh, Parisa Zarkeshian
We study the Kitaev-Ising model, where ferromagnetic Ising interactions are added to the Kitaev model on a lattice. This model has two phases which are characterized by topological…
