As conventional digital architectures face energy and scalability limitations, alternative computing paradigms are needed to process ever-growing volumes of data efficiently. Physical systems that exhibit nonlinear dynamics provide a rich substrate for information processing, enabling computation to be embedded directly within the dynamics of physical media. This talk explores how such nonlinear behaviors can be understood and harnessed for machine learning and data-driven tasks. Example systems include semiconductor lasers, memristors, and micro-electromechanical oscillators, each offering diverse dynamic regimes and memory properties essential for complex computation. By exploiting these inherent physical characteristics, we aim to develop energy-efficient, scalable approaches that depart from traditional digital models and open new directions for computation.
