Abstract
We use micromagnetic simulations to demonstrate that spin waves can perform optically inspired, non-Boolean computing algorithms. We propose and design coherent spin-wave sources and phase shifters, which act akin to the key components of an optical signal processing system. We show that the functionality of the proposed on-chip spin-wave based signal processing system is similar to known optical computing devices. We argue that such computing system can serve as a practical, energy efficient, and integrated component of nanoscale image processing systems.
