Polymer-based probabilistic bits for thermodynamic computing Probabilistic bits (p-bits) are stochastic hardware elements whose output probability can be tuned by an input bias, offering a route to energy-efficient architectures that exploit, rather than suppre...

Polymer-Based Probabilistic Bits Enable Thermodynamic Computing

A polymer‑based memristor generates probabilistic bits (p‑bits) by converting random resistance fluctuations with a voltage‑divider, showing bias‑dependent entropy peaks. Read more: getnews.me/polymer-based-probabilis... #pbits #thermodynamiccomputing

Proposed experimental setup for spin-based p-bits: the state of a p-bit i is read out by a Hall effect probe, and the resulting output voltage is amplified and translated into a magnetic field that (after being properly weighted and added to all other signals) acts as input to a p-bit j.

🧲 Very pleased that our latest paper "Lanthanide molecular nanomagnets as probabilistic bits" has been published, with @agaitaarino as IP.
Here we explore Lanthanide-based molecular nanomagnets as candidate probabilistic bits (p-bits), since in this context […]
