Abstract:
The progress of wireless and satellite communications, other telecommunication, and radar systems is currently slowed down by the lack of frequency resources. The report discusses: (a) high-frequency (frequency range up to 100 GHz) and sensitive superconducting detectors of the magnetic component of the signal; (b) ultra-fast (clock speeds up to 700 GHz) energy-efficient (energy dissipation per operation ~ 1aJ) analog-to-digital converters; (c) compact and energy-efficient logic circuits and cryogenic memory units (RAM and ROM) compatible with superconductor detectors and ADCs; (d) neuronet and quantum processing units; (e) interface circuits connecting superconducting detectors and analog-to-digital converters with signal processing units (including quantum ones).
