Abstract:

Data manipulation (memory, computation, communications, data mining, sensing) in its many forms drives our modern civilization. The continuous increase in hardware packing density and phenomenal decrease in cost (Moore’s law) has been key to the development of the information revolution. This was fueled by the discovery of revolutionary scientific concepts such as quantum mechanics, coupled with the development of quantum materials and devices. We are presently facing a similar situation in which new hardware concepts, based on transformative scientific concepts, are needed. This includes a reevaluation of data manipulation concepts for software and systems and by necessity will require the development of novel hardware including new device and materials concepts. I will describe the first steps using quantum materials to “develop a machine that works like the brain”.
