Abstract :
Using simple fiber networks for proof-of-principle demonstrations, we give examples of natural computing in linear optical networks, like solving polynomial (P) and nondeterministic polynomial (NP) problems, and in nonlinear optical networks, like metaheuristic optimization and neuromorphic computing.
