Nanodevices for computationally hard problems

THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL

Institute: Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Budapest
computer sciences
Roska Tamás Doctoral School of Sciences and Technology

Thesis supervisor: György Csaba
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Faculty of Information Techology and Bionics
Abbreviation of location of studies: PPKE


Description of the research topic:

"One may use the laws of physics to solve computing problems that would be very difficult to work out by conventional algorithms and digital CMOS devices. The first goal of the PhD work is to identify hard (possibly NP hard) problems that can be naturally solved by nano-systems. Later, the PhD candidate simulates and designs nanoelectronic devices and circuits that solve specific computationally hard problems.
The focus of the work will be magnetic (spin-wave-based) systems and the collective dynamics of coupled nanoscale oscillators. Some of the simulated systems may be experimentally tested as part of the PhD work. The work will be done in close collaboration with teams of the ‘Nature as Computer’ DARPA project.
"

Required language skills: English
Further requirements: 
Aptitude for physics and math is useful. Basic knowledge about numerical simulations is recommended.

Number of students who can be accepted: 1
