Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more efficient approach for specific applications. The authors behind a ...

While digital computers have become entrenched in our daily lives, a new analog quantum computer offers a stark contrast in both its design and capabilities. A team of physicists from Stanford ...

Analog computers, computing systems that represent data as continuous physical quantities, such as voltage, frequency or ...

Microsoft Research has developed an analog optical computer (AOC) that uses light to solve complex problems.

Our new tech editor for Analog looks at the evolution of “analog” and how it inadvertently spun off a pop music genre. Operational Amplifiers are exactly that—amplifiers that can perform mathematical ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The pursuit of faster and more efficient computing has been a driving force in technological progress for decades. As the demand for computational power continues to grow, ...

A computer that uses light rather than digital switches ... study says Because the AOC doesn't convert the analog signals to digital ones during the calculations, the AOC saves energy and overcomes ...

A “cheap as chips” open-source Analog Computer can run circles around a Raspberry Pi in solving differential equations and for simulating natural phenomena. To keep costs down, the Anabrid team ...
