Nanowerk  August 29, 2022 To engineer probabilistic computers for more advanced computers researchers in Japan have developed a mathematical description to understand what happens to p-bits which could form the basis of probablistic computing. They utilized superparamagnetic tunnel junctions that have high sensitivity to external perturbations and determined the exponents through several independent measurements. They experimentally clarified the ‘switching exponent’ that governs fluctuation under the perturbations caused by magnetic field and spin-transfer torque in magnetic tunnel junctions. This gave them the mathematical foundation to implement magnetic tunnel junctions into the p-bit to sophisticatedly design probabilistic computers. They showed that these […]
