Abstract:
Neuromorphic computing is expected to achieve human-brain performance by reproducing the structure of biological neural systems. However, previous neuromorphic designs based on synapse devices are all unsatisfying for their hardwired network structure and limited connection density, far from their biological counterpart, which has high connection density and the ability of meta-learning. Here, we propose a neural network based on magnon scattering modulated by an omnidirectional mobile hopfion in antiferromagnets. The states of neurons are encoded in the frequency distribution of magnons, and the connections between them are related to the frequency dependence of magnon scattering. Last, by controlling the hopfion's state, we can modulate hyperparameters in our network and realize the first meta-learning device that is verified to be well functioning. It not only breaks the connection density bottleneck but also provides a guideline for future designs of neuromorphic devices.

Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets....
Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
