2023 Bronze Medal Award
AWARD CITATION
The group is recognized for developing superconducting circuits that solve key challenges in neuromorphic computing and single-photon metrology. The team demonstrated optoelectronic synapses that receive single-photon communication events and translate the signal to a supercurrent. The circuits demonstrate many features of biological synapses and dendrites, making them suitable for large-scale, high-performance neural systems useful in artificial intelligence. The same hardware advance solves a key problem for sensor readout and single-photon metrology.
