Abstract

Networks of coupled oscillators have far-reaching implications across various fields, providing insights into a plethora of dynamics. This review offers an in-depth overview of computing with oscillators covering computational capability, synchronization occurrence and mathematical formalism. We discuss numerous circuit design implementations, technology choices and applications from pattern retrieval, combinatorial optimization problems to machine learning algorithms. We also outline perspectives to broaden the applications and mathematical understanding of coupled oscillator dynamics.
