Abstract
The disclosed technology generally relates to computation devices, and more particularly to majority gate devices configured for computation based on spin waves. In one aspect, a majority gate device comprises cells that are configurable as spin wave generators or spin wave detectors. The majority gate device comprises an odd number of spin wave generators, and at least one spin wave detector. The majority gate device additionally comprises a waveguide adapted for guiding spin waves generated by the spin wave generators. The spin wave generators and the at least one spin wave detector are positioned in an inline configuration along the waveguide such that, in operation, interference of the spin waves generated by the spin wave generators can be detected by the at least one spin wave detector. The interference of the spin waves corresponds to a majority operation of the spin waves generated by the spin wave generators.
