Magnetic tunnel junctions are bi-stable nanodevices which magnetic state can be both read and written electrically. Their high endurance, reliability and CMOS-compatibility have made them flagship devices for novel forms of computing. While they are mostly used as non-volatile binary memories, they can be made unstable and thus behave as stochastic oscillators. Here, we show how stochastic magnetic tunnel junctions are promising elements for low energy implementations of unconventional computing. An analogy can be drawn between stochastic magnetic tunnel junctions and stochastic spiking neurons. We apply neuroscience computing paradigm to these devices and demonstrate that they can be the building blocks of low energy artificial neural networks capable of on-chip learning.
