This symposium will be focused on a combination of presentations related to materials for quantum computing as well as semiclassical probabilistic approaches. On the materials for quantum computing, an overview will be given by experts from various leading physical platforms such as superconductors, semiconductors and diamond.
This symposium will also explore cutting-edge advancements in oscillation-based and probabilistic computing, moving beyond traditional qubit paradigms. We will focus on novel materials and devices that intrinsically enable stochasticity and complex dynamics. The aim is to bridge fundamental material science with innovative device design for next-generation computing from neuromorphic systems to hardware-based probabilistic algorithms.
