MemComputing vs. Quantum Computing: some analogies and major differences (2203.12031v2)
Published 22 Mar 2022 in cs.ET, cond-mat.mes-hall, and nlin.AO
Abstract: Quantum computing employs some quantum phenomena to process information. It has been hailed as the future of computing but it is plagued by serious hurdles when it comes to its practical realization. MemComputing is a new paradigm that instead employs non-quantum dynamical systems and exploits time non-locality (memory) to compute. It can be efficiently emulated in software and its path towards hardware is more straightforward. I will discuss some analogies between these two computing paradigms, and the major differences that set them apart.
