  • Nanomechanical networks for computation
    Patent number: 11621671
    Abstract: A nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) oscillator network and methods for its operation are disclosed. The NEMS oscillator network includes one or more network inputs configured to receive one or more input signals. The NEMS oscillator network also includes a plurality of NEMS oscillators coupled to the one or more network inputs. Each of the plurality of NEMS oscillators includes a NEMS resonator and produces a radio frequency (RF) output signal that oscillates at a particular frequency and a particular phase. The NEMS oscillator network further includes a plurality of connections that interconnect the plurality of NEMS oscillators. The NEMS oscillator network further includes one or more network outputs coupled to the plurality of NEMS oscillators and configured to output one or more output signals.
    Type: Grant
