Simulation computing enters the matrix era! Peking University teams up with Silicon Valley IBM to write a new definition

What happened: A review paper in a Nature-affiliated journal on unconventional computing, led by Peking University associate professor Sun Zhong with co-authors from Peking University, IBM Zurich Research, and Silicon Valley startup Unconventional AI, sets out a definition of "modern analog computing." Key numbers: The paper distinguishes modern analog Why it matters: The content frames the paper as an effort to unify the field around a formal definition, with Sun Zhong saying the paper is a starting point for bringing core institutions together to define "modern analog computing.
