Getting memory directly involved in optimization computation: a new approach explored for solving complex problems

This is the major result of collaborative work carried out between CEA-Leti, SPINTEC, and C2N, which has just been published in Nature Communications. Instead of separating memory and processing as in conventional computers, the researchers combined two complementary nanotechnologies on a single component to create a new optimization processor (an Ising machine). What these results show: The voltage used to read the memory helps regulate …

Joo-Von Kim, CNRS Research Director at C2N, Named 2027–2028 Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Magnetics Society

Joo-Von Kim, CNRS Research Director at C2N, has been named a 2027–2028 Distinguished Lecturer by a committee of the IEEE Magnetics Society. A theoretical and computational physicist, Joo-Von Kim specializes in nanomagnetism and spintronics. At C2N, his work focuses on the nonlinear and stochastic dynamics of magnetization, with applications in information processing and unconventional computing. His lecture is titled “Floquet Magnonics: A Time Odyssey.” Magnonics deals with the generation, propagation, …
