Arrangement for use in a magnonic matrix-vector-multiplier

An arrangement (100) for use in a matrix-vector-multiplier, comprising a stack of material layers (110) arranged on a substrate (120), and a waveguide element (200) formed in at least one material layer in the stack. The arrangement further comprises a transducer arrangement (300) which is coupled to the waveguide element. The transducer arrangement is configured to generate and detect spin wave(s) in the waveguide element, and wherein the waveguide element is configured to confine and to provide interference of the at spin wave(s) propagating therein. The arrangement further comprises a control mechanism (400) comprising at least one control element (500) coupled to the waveguide element, and a direct current electric source (600) coupled to the at least one control element. The control mechanism, via the at least one control element, is configured to modify the phase velocity of the spin wave(s) propagating in the waveguide element.
