Abstract: Nanomechanical oscillators are an alternative platform for computation in harsh environments. However, external perturbations arising from such environments may hinder information processing by introducing errors into the computing system. Here, we simulate the dynamics of three coupled Duffing oscillators whose multiple equilibrium states can be used for information processing and storage. Our analysis reveals that, within experimentally relevant parameters, error correcting dynamics can emerge, wherein the system's state is robust against random external impulses. We find that oscillators in this configuration have several surprising and attractive features, including dynamic isolation of resonators exposed to extreme impulses and the ability to correct simultaneous errors.
