| contents | Building on nonintrinsic Landau theory, we introduce continuum free-energy computing as a new computing paradigm in which problem instances are encoded in programmable free-energy functionals and solved by intrinsic relaxational dynamics. We identify ion-patterned FeRh as a plausible physical realization through spatial control of the local phase bias, with antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic interface motion providing the relaxational mechanism. We further identify two representative task classes, a minimal operating protocol, and the main physical constraints. |
