Thermodynamic bit formed of two memristors

Abstract

A thermodynamic bit apparatus, method and system. A thermodynamic bit is a device that returns a true or false state with a probability that depends on its internal state, which can be controlled via the application of positive feedback. A thermodynamic bit can include two or more memristors connected in series. A forward bias can be applied to the thermodynamic bit to read the state of the thermodynamic bit. A negative feedback can be applied to the thermodynamic bit during application of a forward bias to the thermodynamic bit. Also, a reverse bias can be applied to the thermodynamic bit to refresh or reinforce the state of the thermodynamic bit.
