Researchers Could Achieve Artificial General Intelligence by Combining Light, Superconductors
The new approach was detailed in Applied Physics Letters by AIP Publishing.
Jeffrey Shainline is author of the research.
“We argue that by operating at low temperature and using superconducting electronic circuits, single-photon detectors, and silicon light sources, we will open a path toward rich computational functionality and scalable fabrication,” Shainline said.
Scalable and Functional Artificial Cognitive Systems
According to the researchers and their new approach, the pairing of light for communication with complex electronic circuits for computation could lead to artificial cognitive systems that are far more scalable and functional than traditional approaches that rely on light or electronics alone.
“What surprised me most was that optoelectronic integration may be much easier when working at low temperatures and using superconductors than when working at room temperatures and using semiconductors,” Shainline continued.
