Structure of computers, past and present: first, second, third and fourth generation. Combinatorial and sequential circuits. Programmable logic arrays. Processor design: information formats, ...

At the upper-division level, you may choose to specialize in computer systems and software or in logic design. The computer systems and software option involves computer architecture, design, ...

The logic gate is a solid step forward but I just don’t see how that would be an optimal use of such a device; perhaps more akin to virtualization or emulation of a digital electronic computer.

Acquire enough basic logic design knowledge for advanced study topics related to VLSI design, computer architecture, ... Perform basic logic circuit design including both combinational and sequential ...

A new paradigm in quantum information processing has been demonstrated. Physicists have developed a quantum integrated circuit that implements the quantum von Neumann architecture. In this ...

Computing NeuroGrid — A Circuit Board Modeled after the Human Brain. A team of Stanford University engineers has developed a circuit board, and its underlying chips, that simulates the activity of the ...

However, the main challenge is no longer the creation of single transistors; over the past two decades, researchers have begun to build logic circuits using 2D materials 5 – 7.
