OverviewMemComputing is a new computing paradigm that employs time non-locality (memory) to both process and store information. This book, written by the originator of this paradigm, explains the main ideas behind MemComputing, explores its theoretical foundations, and shows its applicability to a wide variety of combinatorial optimization problems, machine learning, and quantum mechanics. The book is ideal for graduate students in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics, as well as researchers in both academia and industry interested in unconventional computing. The author relies on extensive margin notes, important remarks, and many illustrations to better explain the main concepts and clarify jargon, making the book as self-contained as possible. The reader will be guided from the basic notions to the more advanced ones with an always clear and engaging writing style. Along the way, the reader will appreciate the advantages of this computing paradigm and the major differences that set it apart from the prevailing Turing model of computation, and even quantum computing.

Table of ContentsReviewsMemcomputing can have a revolutionary impact on the field of computing, and having a book presenting the material with the necessary background is a must to make it better known. * Pierre-Emmanuel Gaillardon, University of Utah * The book is an excellent and brilliant pedagogical introduction to a new paradigm of IT architecture. It contains both introductory and advanced material, offering the reader an overview that is exhaustive and stimulating. * Bernardo Spagnolo, University of Palermo * Author InformationMassimiliano Di Ventra obtained his undergraduate degree in Physics summa cum laude from the University of Trieste (Italy) in 1991 and did his PhD studies at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne 1993-1997. He is now professor of Physics at the University of California, San Diego. Di Ventra's research interests are in condensed-matter theory and unconventional computing. He has been invited to deliver more than 300 talks worldwide on these topics. He has published more than 200 papers in refereed journals and 3 textbooks, and has 4 granted patents. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the Institute of Physics, and a foreign member of Academia Europaea. In 2018 he was named Highly Cited Researcher by Clarivate Analytics and he is the recipient of the 2020 Feynman Prize for Theory in Nanotechnology.
