The second instalment of the workshop on Frontiers of Neuromorphic Computing is taking place at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen 10-12 June 2026. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
Registration will be possible from 22 January until 1 April.
For details on accommodation in Erlangen, please check the accommodation tab for details. We will reserve a limited contingent of rooms for participants. For more information, please check back in February.
Frontiers of Neuromorphic Computing
The recent explosion of deep learning applications imposes an urgent need for new energy-efficient alternative neuromorphic hardware concepts running at high speeds and relying on a high degree of parallelism. In this workshop, we will explore this rapidly developing area of neuromorphic computing over a range of scalable platforms, both on a theoretical and experimental level. These platforms include systems in the domains of optics, integrated photonics, spin systems, semi- and superconducting systems, soft matter, and others. In addition, new physical learning approaches will be discussed.
