Vision
- Enable scientific and technological breakthroughs
- Greatly reduce energy requirements of national computing infrastructure
- Develop and demonstrate superconductor electronics (SCE) and superconductive computing technology
- Innovate in technology, circuit design, and architectures with targeted application studies and system demonstrations
- Create and promote a culture of collaboration and opportunity through education, outreach, and engagement, ensuring broad participation and access for all.
Why SCE?
Three families of superconductive logic
RSFQ = Rapid Single Flux Quantum
Energy-efficient SFQ = Energy-efficient Single Flux Quantum
AQFP = Adiabatic Quantum Flux Parametron
Comparing energy-efficient SFQ and AQFP against CMOS (including cryogenic cooling)
Why NOW?
- Dramatic rise of compute-intensive applications
- Need for energy-efficient computing
- Availability of advanced SCE design tools and fabrication capabilities
- DISCoVER poised to mitigate prior memory and scaling issues
- DISCoVER enables sustained US dominance in computing technology
