A Blueprint for Equilibrium-Based Differentiable Continuous-Variable Thermodynamic Computing
Owen Lockwood, Jérémy Béjanin, Joost Bus, Christopher Chamberland, Patrick Huembeli, Frank Schäfer, et al.
To address the escalating energy and latency demands of machine-learning workloads, we introduce a blueprint for an energy-efficient and fast thermodynamic computing stack that leverages stochastic analog processes in physical hardware. In this work, we focus on energy-based ther…
