Members of the NIMFEIA consortium are co-organizing the 853rd Wilhelm-Else-Heraeus-Seminar entitled “New Opportunities in Physics-based Computing: Magnonics, Spintronics, Photonics and Beyond”, which will take place 26–30 April 2026 at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, Germany.
The WE-Heraeus-Seminar addresses one of the central challenges also pursued within NIMFEIA: how wave-based and nonlinear physical systems can be harnessed for energy-efficient information processing beyond conventional CMOS technology. Bringing together experts from magnonics, spintronics, photonics, and related fields, the meeting will explore emerging concepts such as physical reservoir computing, analog computing platforms, and hybrid hardware approaches inspired by condensed-matter physics.
The WE-Heraeus-Seminar format is designed to foster in-depth scientific exchange, combining invited talks, poster sessions, and extended discussions in an interdisciplinary setting. Participation is funded by the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation, including accommodation and meals.
Researchers at all career stages working on physics-based computing, neuromorphic concepts, or wave-based information processing are encouraged to apply.
