Circuit realization for thermodynamic Bayesian linear regression
Construct a CMOS-compatible analog circuit that realizes the thermodynamic Langevin sampler for Bayesian linear regression with pθ(θ) = N(μπ, Σπ) and p(y|θ) = N(Hθ, Σℓ), mapping Σπ, H, Σℓ, and y into circuit elements, and validate that the device samples from the exact posterior p(θ|y).

Given that the use of thermodynamic computing for Bayesian inference has not been previously explored, many open questions remain. Immediate extensions of our results include designing a circuit realization of our algorithm for Bayesian linear regression, and quantifying the energy consumption of our Bayesian logistic regression protocol.
