Multi-layer oscillating network

Abstract:

A computing network comprising a first layer comprising a first set of oscillators and a second layer comprising a second set of oscillators is provided. The computing network further comprises a plurality of adjustable coupling elements between the oscillators of the first set and a plurality of nonlinear elements. The nonlinear elements are configured to couple output signals of the first layer to the second layer. The computing network further comprises an encoding unit configured to receive input signals, convert the input signals into phase-encoded output signals, and provide the phase-encoded output signals to the first layer.
