  • Neural member, neural network, and neurological memory
    Patent number: 10505095
    Abstract: A neural member includes: an axonal superconducting electrode; a dendritical superconducting electrode disposed opposing the axonal superconducting electrode; a synaptic barrier interposed between the axonal superconducting electrode and the dendritical superconducting electrode and including a plurality of magnetic clusters, the synaptic barrier being a tunable magnetic barrier between an ordered magnetic state and a disordered magnetic state such that: the axonal superconducting electrode, the dendritical superconducting electrode, and the synaptic barrier are arranged as a dynamically reconfigurable Josephson junction.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 4, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 10, 2019
    Assignee: GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE
