Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more efficient approach for specific applications. The authors behind a recent paper ...

At one time a scientist or engineer trying to solve a tough problem with electronic computation had the choice of an analog computer, a digital computer, or both together in a hybrid configuration.

A “cheap as chips” open-source Analog Computer can run circles around a Raspberry Pi in solving differential equations and for simulating natural phenomena. To keep costs down, the Anabrid team ...

Physicists have invented a new type of analog quantum computer that can tackle hard physics problems that the most powerful digital supercomputers cannot solve. New research published in Nature ...

Back in September this year, I wrote a blog on analog computing for AI applications. This followed from ongoing efforts by a few organizations to use analog computing hardware and systems in a ...

Simulations of quantum many-body systems are an important goal for nuclear and high-energy physics. Many-body problems involve systems that consist of many microscopic particles interacting at the ...

Forget digital. The future of A.I. is … analog? At least, that’s the assertion of Mythic, an A.I. chip company that, in its own words, is taking “a leap forward in performance in power” by going back ...
