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 ...

Engineers have reached a theoretical limit for efficiently converting analog data into digital bits in an emerging computer technology.

As requested by readers, editor Andy Turudic demonstrates that it’s child’s play to set up an Analog Computer to compute a Lorenz Attractor.

Analogue Computing hits the road as editor Andy Turudic uses THe Analog Thing Analog Laptop Computer to simulate an automobile suspension encountering a pothole.

We are always impressed with something so simple can actually be so complex. For example, what would you think goes into an analog computer? Of course, a “real” analog computer has opamps that ...

Xuan “Silvia” Zhang’s lab at the McKelvey School of Engineering has reached a theoretical limit for efficiently converting analog data into digital bits in an emerging computer technology.

Inspired by early computer designs, researchers at MIT have created synthetic analog computers that use genetic machinery -- in other words, living cell calculators. In addition to arithmetic ...

Built around the beginning of the 1st century BCE, the Antikythera Mechanism is the oldest known analog computer in human history, and there’s an enduring mystery surrounding what it was used ...
