The 2021 update of the IEEE International Roadmap for Devices & Systems (IRDS) is now published. New in this year's Beyond CMOS chapter is coverage of reservoir computing and liquid state machines (in §4.2.2.4). Reversible computing is covered in §4.4. irds.ieee.org/editions/2021

PhD admission season coming up. Here are a few tips one can think about. A thread:

Happy #WorldQuantumDay. It is time we make real and useful quantum products. In India, it is time to stop having zillions of panel discussions on how many optimization problems a quantum computer will solve, but make real investments to actually develop the hardware.

I often demonstrate “magnetic induction" in general physics class, but never realized “wireless charging” e.g. to iPhone is precisely using this effect. I finally learned this when a student wants to charge phone on demo coils. What a great moment for me, learning via teaching😁

The Max-Planck-EPFL-Center for Molecular Nanoscience and Technology will hold a 5-day Summer school in Schloß Ringberg 🏰 on July 3-8, with the multidisciplinary theme of "Theoretical modelling at the nanoscale". PhD students can learn more and apply at: mpg-epfl.mpg.de/4935357/Summer…
