Design of a bio-inspired spiking neuron based on nanoscale Josephson contacts with a gold wire in the weak link region

The results of an experimental study of new technological solutions for the creation of basic elements in compact bio-inspired spiking neurons are presented: we are talking about nanoscale Josephson contacts with a gold wire in the field of weak communication. The design of the neuron as a whole has been found, for which the low capacitance of nanoscale contacts, which was previously one of the main limitations in practical implementation, is no longer a problem. The operability of the proposed circuit solution is confirmed by numerical modeling. On this basis, the topologies of the bio-inspired neuron were developed. The results obtained open new possibilities for the creation of high-performance and energy-efficient neural networks, which can have a significant impact on the development of artificial intelligence and quantum technologies.
