Differentiable Programming for Plasma Physics: From Diagnostics to Discovery and Design
A. S. Joglekar, A. G. R. Thomas, A. L. Milder +3
Differentiable programming, enabled by automatic differentiation (AD), provides a robust framework for gradient-based optimization in computational plasma physics. While optimizati…
