2nd International Conference on Physical Computing

September 11 & 12 2023, Heidelberg

The conference brings together stakeholders from diverse fields to discuss the prospects of using physical systems for information processing tasks in advanced computing, simulation and machine learning. The conference is a unique opportunity to discuss the latest developments in the physical computing field.

Our conference theme is driven by the idea that physical concepts, functional materials and devices could be used to run computations directly, in contrast to using logic gates. There are several emerging themes and implementations of this concept, which we would like to cover in depth.

The conference features talks by invited experts, a poster session for all participants as well as the opportunity for registering oral presentations or a symposium.
