A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation.

How do you rapidly record the output from your three million dollar analog computer in the 1940s when the results are only available on analog meters? The team responsible for the Westinghouse 1947 AC ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? But researchers from Stanford University and University College Dublin (UCD) ...

As requested by readers, editor Andy Turudic demonstrates that it’s child’s play to set up an Analog Computer to compute a Lorenz Attractor. Anabrid’s THAT Analog Computer provides a flexible, ...

While digital computers have become entrenched in our daily lives, a new analog quantum computer offers a stark contrast in both its design and capabilities. A team of physicists from Stanford ...

In the first of three parts, Andy hypothesizes that the K2-W Analog Computer Op Amp’s design has some unrevealed mad science in its input-stage design. 1. K2-W Op Amp schematic from Bob Pease’s ...

Figured I'd have a shot of fixing something getting ideas from all the people who visit Ars At the parish I used to work at (and still help out at), there's a weekly bingo. In 1 room, there was an ...

People often fixate on quantum computing as a hardware technology, a new kind of transistor, but it may make sense to be less literal, less clinical, and a bit more broad-minded. That is the premise ...
