Using transformative analog electronics techniques, we aim to offer AI solutions within strict power limits, suitable for sectors such as smart cities, industrial Internet of Things, technologies for agriculture, and surveillance\/security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In close collaboration with Irr\u00e9versible, our team will design and manufacture innovative analog modules to demonstrate the potential of our analog memory technology for next-generation AI. This collaboration will enable us to validate the operation of the analog resistive memories developed at 3iT in an audio detection application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This technology is also central to Irr\u00e9versible&#8217;s products and underpins its R&amp;D program, which is part of Sherbrooke&#8217;s Quantum Innovation Zone ecosystem, DistriQ, with a particular focus on AI-assisted quantum computing applications. This project therefore fosters the development of disruptive technological solutions and will reinforce Quebec&#8217;s role in hardware innovation for low-energy AI. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"partners-carrousel aligndefault\" id=\"partners-carrousel-69e8dfc3d990e\">\n  <h2 class=\"partners-carrousel__title\">Organisation (s)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"swiper swiper-partners\">\n  <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usherbrooke.ca\/\" class=\"swiper-slide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"331\" src=\"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-3.png\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-3.png 1280w, https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-3-300x78.png 300w, https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-3-1024x265.png 1024w, https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-3-768x199.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>        <\/a>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irreversible.tech\/\" class=\"swiper-slide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/irreversible_logo.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/irreversible_logo.jpg 200w, https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/irreversible_logo-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>        <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n  <div class=\"swiper-navigation\">\n    <div class=\"swiper-button-prev\"><\/div>\n    <div class=\"swiper-button-next\"><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2994,"template":"","funded-project-category":[166,171,174],"location":[158],"industry":[121,124],"class_list":["post-4757","funded-project","type-funded-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","funded-project-category-2025-cohort","funded-project-category-photonics-optics","funded-project-category-quantum-technologies","location-sherbrooke-en","industry-agriculture-en","industry-other-services"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/funded-project\/4757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/funded-project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/funded-project"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"funded-project-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/funded-project-category?post=4757"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=4757"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/promptinnov.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=4757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
