A nanomagnetic structure and a method of fabricating a nanomagnetic structure. The nanomagnetic comprises two or more nanomagnetic material elements, each nanomagnetic material element having a respective predetermined geometric shape such that the nanomagnetic structure exhibits different stable ground states initializable by magnetic fields applied across the nanomagnetic structure in respective different directions; wherein the nanomagnetic material elements are disposed relative to each other such that the magnetic structure exhibits a difference in effective internal magnetic field strength between the different stable ground states.
