Superconducting Memlogic Sensors Offer Unprecedented Capabilities
Posted: 2024-9-5
In a new study published in Light Science & Applications, a team of scientists led by Professor Zhenghua An from Fudan University, Yanru Song from ShanghaiTech University, and co-workers created a superconducting memlogic sensor that combines infrared sensitivity, memory retention, and reconfigurable logic computing, resulting in an all-in-one infrared memlogic sensor.
Superconducting memlogic sensors combine in-cell logic and memory, taking machine vision beyond traditional computing. These sensors use superconductors’ quantum sensitivity and wide spectrum. We present a long-wave infrared sensor with superconductor-normal phase bistability, which enables deterministic, permanent switching.
Due to metamaterial architecture, this gadget improves encrypted communications and has great infrared sensitivity (12.2 μm). This breakthrough can potentially outperform biological retinas in terms of sensitivity and wavelength, incorporating superior vision into quantum computers.
