Abstract

We propose and numerically study a scheme for neural networks using exciton-polariton waveguide meshes. These enable arbitrary programmable interlayer couplings suited to a restricted Boltzmann machine architecture where polariton phases act as stochastic network variables. We show that such a network can be trained using unsupervised Hebbian and anti-Hebbian updates. This allows the implementation of an associative memory, where the network recovers learned patterns from imperfect inputs.
