Nanomechanical networks for computation

A method of operating a nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) oscillator network, the method comprising:

• receiving one or more input signals at one or more network inputs of the NEMS oscillator network;
• producing, for each NEMS oscillator of a plurality of NEMS oscillators of the NEMS oscillator network, a radio frequency (RF) output signal that oscillates at a particular frequency and a particular phase, wherein the plurality of NEMS oscillators are coupled to the one or more network inputs, and wherein the NEMS oscillator network includes a plurality of connections that interconnect the plurality of NEMS oscillators such that each NEMS oscillator of the plurality of NEMS oscillators is connected to at least one other NEMS oscillator of the plurality of NEMS oscillators through at least one connection of the plurality of connections;
• and
• outputting one or more output signals at one or more network outputs of the NEMS oscillator network, the one or more network outputs being coupled to the plurality of NEMS oscillators.

A method of training a nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) oscillator network, the method comprising:
