Victorian laboratory bench with brass instruments

Day 1

ThermoSchool

Theory, group work, and hardware DIY. We will take you from 0 to p-bit in 1 day.

What it is

From 0 to 1 in the physics.

ThermoSchool is the opening of Thermosynthesis. Mentors teach. The room works problems together. At ThermoSchool we will take you from Theory to Practice and we will get our hands dirty building an actual physical probabilistic bit.

  1. 01

    Theory

    A short, rigorous path through thermodynamic computing: energy landscapes, stochastic bits, sampling as the native operation. Self-learning modules sit beside live teaching.

  2. 02

    Group work

    Mixed tables: students, scientists, founders. Problems are worked in the room. Mentors circulate.

  3. 03

    Hardware DIY

    We build a real p-bit. Building a Discrete Probabilistic Bit From Diode Noise
