Adversarial attacks have been widely confirmed to be a serious threat to deep learning. This has led to a large amount of studies in this direction of the electronic domain, including input attacks and inject faults for weights. In this paper, focusing on the phases in the linear operation unit of PNNs, a phase gradient attack (PGA) scheme based on the phase gradient sorting of the MZI-arrays and injecting disturbances along the gradient direction is proposed for the first time. The simulation results indicate that even with weak-intensity PGA, it is almost impossible for PNNs to perform the classification inference. Furthermore, taking into account the effects of fabrication-process variations (FPV) and thermal crosstalk in MZI-arrays that lead to tuning phase deviation in practical application, we systematically analyzed the validity of proposed scheme on the PNNs with phase uncertainties. Specifically, we tested the impact of injecting faults by compressing the number of attacked phase angles to 3, 5, and 7, respectively. The experiment results show that injection attack based using PGA on PNNs trained with Gaussian datasets would reduce classification accuracy to 27.97%, 15.47%, and 8.91% for corresponding cases.","PeriodicalId":13094,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics","volume":"31 3: AI/ML Integrated Opto-electronics","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142672005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Manipulation and application of atom-resonator-coupling-induced strong nonlinearity have received much attention in recent years. Here, we present a scheme to realize quantum-squeezing-engineered third-order Kerr nonlinearity and optical high-order sideband comb in a composite system consisting of a two-level atom and two directly coupled whispering-gallery-mode optical microresonators. By quantum squeezing one of two coupled resonator modes in this system, the effective resonator-resonator and atom-resonator coupling rates as well as the frequency of the squeezed resonator mode can be effectively controlled. Based on this mechanism, we show that the Kerr nonlinearity of the composite system can be effectively engineered by using the resonator-mode squeezing when the system is monochromatically driven beyond the weak-excitation limit. On the other hand, when the composite system is bichromatically driven, the optical high-order sideband combs formed in the transmission spectra of the system can also be effectively engineered by the resonator-mode squeezing. Therefore, our scheme provides a novel mechanism to control the physical properties of composite resonator-atom systems for various applications, and demonstrates that optical nonlinear effects induced by the atom-resonator coupling can be effectively engineered via quantum squeezing.","PeriodicalId":13094,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics","volume":"31 5: Quantum Materials and Quantum Devices","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142736402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
