Bridging the gap between nanowires and Josephson junctions: a superconducting device based on controlled fluxon transfer across nanowires
Emily Toomey, Murat Onen, Marco Colangelo +3
The basis for superconducting electronics can broadly be divided between two technologies: the Josephson junction and the superconducting nanowire. While the Josephson junction (JJ…
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…
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…
Circuit designs for superconducting optoelectronic loop neurons
Jeffrey M. Shainline, Sonia M. Buckley, Adam N. McCaughan +3
Optical communication achieves high fanout and short delay advantageous for information integration in neural systems. Superconducting detectors enable signaling with single photon…
