Abstract

We live in a time of intensifying transformations and innovations in the information technology field. So far, computing power has steadily increased due to miniaturisation, multi-core and graphics processor development, and more. Currently, we are observing that new computing concepts, that go beyond two-state Boolean logic, are considered and implemented. Quantum computing is among the best known of these concepts, but to date neural-like neuromorphic systems such as artificial neural networks and annealers are already widely implemented with large use in artificial intelligence applications.
