Recent Progress in Intelligent Electromagnetic Computing

Abstract

Since the introduction of Maxwell’s equations in the 19th century, computational electromagnetics has dramatically increased development. This growth can be attributed to the evolution of numerical algorithms, such as the finite difference method, finite element method, method of moments, and high-frequency approximation methods. These numerical techniques have become a crucial foundation of modern electronic and information engineering. Artificial intelligence has recently witnessed considerable development in electromagnetics; the rapid growth within this field owes itself to its robust modeling and inferential capability. This advancement has given rise to the emerging field of intelligent electromagnetic computing, which has captured the attention of numerous researchers. Remarkable achievements include electromagnetic modeling and simulation, analysis and synthesis of new electromagnetic materials and devices, and detection and perception. These contributions have injected fresh insights into the realm of electromagnetics. This paper discusses recent advances in intelligent electromagnetic computing to highlight new perspectives and avenues in research in this emerging field.
