Research could Accelerate AI Systems to Compute Faster Than Human Brain

Two State University of New York Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) researchers have been awarded $900,000 in funding from the Rome-based Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to conduct a study on brain-inspired (neuromorphic) computing systems comprised of quantum devices operating at cryogenic (below −450 °F) temperatures. Satyavolu Papa Rao, associate vice president for research and adjunct professor of nanoscience, and Nathaniel Cady, professor of nanobioscience, will work to address the stumbling blocks in all-electronic implementations of neuromorphic computing by research and development of the critical elements of superconducting optoelectronics at the 300-mm scale.
