Professor Flynn is the Fawwaz T Ulaby Collegiate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan\n\nQuantum-inspired computers use classical analog electronics to provide the key\nbenefits of quantum computing but with or ders of magnitude lower cost\,\ncomplexity\, and energy consumption. Recen tly\, these physics-inspired\ncomputing platforms have shown significant p otential in accelerating the solution\nof combinatorial optimization probl ems (COPs). We use CMOS oscillators\ninstead of qubits and leverage contin uous-time operation\, massive parallelism\,\nand direct mapping to coupled CMOS-based spins. These systems leverage the\nnatural dynamics of coupled oscillators to rapidly converge to COP solutions\,\nresulting in substant ial improvements in solution time and energy. Our team has\ndemonstrated C MOS integrated-circuit SAT (satisfiability) and LDPC (Low\nDensity Parity Check) solvers with record energy efficiency. These solvers have\napplicat ions in logistics\, drug discovery\, and communications.\n\nMichael Flynn is the Fawwaz T Ulaby Collegiate Professor of Electrical and\nComputer Eng ineering at the University of Michigan. He received the M.Eng.Sc.\nand B.E . degree from UCC and the Ph.D. degree from Carnegie Mellon\nUniversity. H e is a Guggenheim Fellow and a Fellow of the IEEE. Dr. Flynn\nreceived the 2024 Semiconductor Industry Association University Researcher\nAward. He received the Rackham Distinguished Graduate Mentoring Award in\n2020 and t he University of Michigan Faculty Achievement Award in 2016. Dr.\nFlynn wa s Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits from 2013 to \n2016.\n\nRoom: 2.28\, Bldg: AAP\, CADLAB\, 2nd Floor\, Trinity College D ublin\, Dublin\, Dublin\, Ireland LOCATION:Room: 2.28\, Bldg: AAP\, CADLAB\, 2nd Floor\, Trinity College Dubl in\, Dublin\, Dublin\, Ireland ORGANIZER:xliu2@tcd.ie SEQUENCE:10 SUMMARY:Analog Quantum Inspired Computers URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/512083 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>We are pleased to announce that Professor Michael Flynn will visit the EEE Dept\, on Monday 10th November.
