Optically-inspired computing based on spin waves

We demonstrate the use of spin-wave interference for analog signal processing. We show that wave-computing concepts of optical computing can be used for the design of novel nanoscale spin-wave devices. We present a number of designs to demonstrate, how the basic building blocks of optics can be realized for spin waves. Our designs are demonstrated by means of micromagnetic simulations.
