Outside attendees need to contact Barry Schneider in order to obtain the site badges required to enter NIST grounds and to attend the seminar. 24 hour notice is required for US citizens and 3 days for non-US citizens. Please contact bis [at] nist.gov (bis[at]nist[dot]gov) to be added to the visitor list. Visitors must check in at the NIST Visitor Center to pick up their badges. A photo ID is required for US citizens and a passport or green card for foreign nationals. There is also the possibility of viewing the seminar as a webcast. Again, please contact Barry Schneider for details preferably by email.

Since the 1950s, there have been several efforts to develop a computer based on superconducting logic. Each was abandoned due to technical limitations and to overwhelming competition from the semiconductor industry. The end of Moore's Law related improvements for CMOS coupled with the requirement to develop computers at the exascale has motivated the search for viable post-Moore technologies, suggesting another look at superconducting technology. The talk will discuss the IARPA Cryogenic Computing Technology program to develop a prototype superconducting computer, and related developments around the world.
