Coupled oscillators for computing: A review and perspective
Abstract
Coupled oscillators are highly complex dynamical systems, and it is an intriguing concept to use this oscillator dynamics for computation. The idea is not new, but is currently the subject to intense research as part of the quest for “beyond Moore” electronic devices. To a large extent, these efforts are motivated by biological observations: neural systems and mammalian brains, which seem to operate on oscillatory signals. In this paper, we give a survey of oscillator-based computing, with the goal of understanding its promise and limitation for next-generation computing. Our focus will be on the physics of (mostly nanoscale) oscillatory systems and on their characteristics that may enable effective computing.
