Description:

(abstract)

The edge of chaos (EoC) refers to a dynamical regime near the boundary between ordered and chaotic states, optimizing information processing in nonlinear dynamical systems. In physical reservoir computing (PRC), the EoC is crucial for high computational performance. Spin-wave interference–based PRC (SWI-PRC) demonstrated high performance, but the EoC's role hasn't been experimentally clarified. This study investigates a SWI-PRC system on a YIG single crystal, tuned by external magnetic field and input pulse interval adjustments. Using phase-space reconstruction and Lyapunov analysis, we evaluate the maximum Lyapunov exponent (λ_max) and identify the EoC operating point. Additionally, we find an additional optimal regime on the chaotic side of the transition (the edge of chaos on the chaotic side). Performance evaluation through nonlinear waveform transformation tasks reveals up to 97% accuracy near the EoC, linking the λ_max to computational performance. These findings suggest that high performance in SWI-PRC stems from dynamically optimized points, offering design insights to enhance information-processing capabilities in edge computing applications.
