The largest cognitive systems will be optoelectronic
Jeffrey M. Shainline
Electrons and photons offer complementary strengths for information processing. Photons are excellent for communication, while electrons are superior for computation and memory. Co…
Superconducting Optoelectronic Neurons I: General Principles
Jeffrey M. Shainline, Sonia M. Buckley, Adam N. McCaughan +3
The design of neural hardware is informed by the prominence of differentiated processing and information integration in cognitive systems. The central role of communication leads t…
Superconducting Optoelectronic Neurons II: Receiver Circuits
Jeffrey M. Shainline, Sonia M. Buckley, Adam N. McCaughan +5
Circuits using superconducting single-photon detectors and Josephson junctions to perform signal reception, synaptic weighting, and integration are investigated. The circuits conve…
Superconducting Optoelectronic Neurons V: Networks and Scaling
Jeffrey M. Shainline, Jeff Chiles, Sonia M. Buckley +3
Networks of superconducting optoelectronic neurons are investigated for their near-term technological potential and long-term physical limitations. Networks with short average path…
Design, fabrication and metrology of 10100 multi-planar integrated photonic routing manifolds for neural networks
Jeff Chiles, Sonia M. Buckley, Sae Woo Nam +2
We design, fabricate and characterize integrated photonic routing manifolds with 10 inputs and 100 outputs using two vertically integrated planes of silicon nitride waveguides. We…
Superconducting Optoelectronic Neurons IV: Transmitter Circuits
Jeffrey M. Shainline, Adam N. McCaughan, Sonia M. Buckley +2
A superconducting optoelectronic neuron will produce a small current pulse upon reaching threshold. We present an amplifier chain that converts this small current pulse to a voltag…
