Institute Colloquium
MEET THE EXPERT ON NONLINEAR MAGNONICS FOR NEUROMORPHIC COMPUTING
Dr. Helmut Schultheiß
(HZDR, Dresden)
Date: September 2, 2026
Start: 2 p.m.
Venue: Conference room of Leibniz IPHT
Dr. H. Schultheiss is a physicist and research group leader at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, where he has led the Emmy Noether Research Group Magnonics since 2014, and a TU Dresden Young Investigator since 2015. His research focuses on magnonics, spin-wave dynamics, and magnetic micro- and nanostructures. He earned his PhD in physics with distinction from Technische Universität Kaiserslautern and previously held a postdoctoral appointment at Argonne National Laboratory, USA. Dr. Schultheiss has authored more about a 100 peer-reviewed publications and 3 book chapters, and his work has been recognized with several prestigious awards, including the Walther Schottky Award of the German Physical Society and the HZDR research award. He has also been active in the international research community through invited talks, conference organization, editorial work, and service as IEEE German Chapter Chair and Associate Editor of IEEE Magnetics Letters.
Toward machine learning with nonlinear magnonic hardware
Nonlinear spin waves confined by magnetic vortices offer a promising platform for compact neuromorphic computing hardware. We demonstrate that a single magnetic vortex can function as a magnonic reservoir capable of processing temporal information, recognizing patterns, and forecasting chaotic time series. Enabled by nonlinear magnon–magnon interactions and frequency-multiplexed spin-wave modes, these systems combine memory, nonlinearity, and high-dimensional information processing within a single magnetic element, opening new avenues for energy-efficient computing architectures.
The lecture will be given in English.
