Integrating Light Sources with Superconducting Electronics
1:38:37 - 1:44:04 (05:26)
The integration of light sources with superconducting electronics is a promising approach, as it avoids the need for intimate integration with transistors. By placing compound semiconductor light sources on a silicon wafer and growing superconducting electronics on top, signals can be received to produce pulses of light for downstream synaptic connections.

Summary
Superconducting detectors could be utilized for neuromorphic computing, enabling optoelectronic integration with low light levels that are required being reduced by about three orders of magnitude. This makes it possible to use electronics for computation and light for communication, which was previously difficult with silicon microelectronics at room temperature.
