The rapidly-improving speed and versatility of digital computers has mostly driven analogue computers out of use in modern ...

A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation.

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. The future of computing may be analog. The digital design of our ...

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. Anabrid’s THAT Analog Computer provides a flexible, ...

A “cheap as chips” open-source Analog Computer can run circles around a Raspberry Pi in solving differential equations and for simulating natural phenomena. To keep costs down, the Anabrid team ...

My first job out of college was testing and debugging control loading systems on flight simulators for 747 and the “new” 767 airliners. In the late 1970s, the control loop that simulated the feel of ...

We are all used to modular construction in the analogue synth world, to the extent that there’s an accepted standard for it in EuroRack. But the same techniques are just as useful wherever else ...

Forget digital. The future of A.I. is … analog? At least, that’s the assertion of Mythic, an A.I. chip company that, in its own words, is taking “a leap forward in performance in power” by going back ...
