The phenomenal success of our integrated circuits managed to obscure an awkward fact: they're not always the best way to solve problems. The features of modern computers—binary operations, separated ...

A photograph of the developed prototype. The system is designed such that the spintronic probabilistic bit comprising a stochastic magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) [left] generates a physical random ...

In the flow shop weighted completion time problem, a set of jobs has to be processed on m machines. Every machine has to process each one of the jobs, and every job has the same routing through the ...

Researchers at Tohoku University, the University of Messina, and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) have developed a scaled-up version of a probabilistic computer (p-computer) with ...

Ising machines demonstrate significant potential to tackle computationally complex challenges, including combinatorial optimization problems related to logistics, manufacturing, finance, and AI. The ...

In the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows, a set of customers are served by a fleet of vehicles of limited capacity, initially located at a central depot. Each customer provides a period of ...

Imagine a world where your computer doesn’t just work harder but smarter, tapping into the very chaos that surrounds us. It’s not science fiction—it’s the dawn of probabilistic and thermodynamic ...

Saksman's research deals with several mathematical problem areas that involve probabilistic questions in various setups. These include probabilistic methods in mathematical physics, analysis and ...
