Acoustic waves / Phonons
In principle, acoustic waves can be used for computing. However, as they are difficult to manipulate when propagating through air, one usually uses phonons, whi... Read more.
Atoms / Point Defects
This page deals with the properties of excitable single free atoms and of point defects inside solid state matter. The properties of molecules as information ca... Read more.
Photons / Plasmons
Photons Photons are elementary quantum particles without charge and rest mass that make up electromagnetic radiation (light, micro waves, radio waves etc.). The... Read more.
Spin / Magnetism
Here we discuss approaches which use the electronic spin or a cluster of spins leading to magnetic structures for different computing tasks, which is called spi... Read more.
Reversible/Adiabatic Computing
Every loss of information, e.g. by merging two paths of information into a new one, will increase the entropy, i.e. create noise or heat. Landauer’s princ... Read more.
Massive Parallel
Historically for CMOS based digital computing the performance of CPUs could be increased with every technology generation through an increase in operating frequ... Read more.
