Abstract

A nanoclustered magnetic Josephson junction (nMJJ) is a hybrid magnetic-superconducting device that can be used as an artificial synapse in neuromorphic applications. In this paper, we review the nMJJ from the device level to the circuit level. We describe the properties of individual devices and show how they can be integrated to a neuromorphic circuit. We discuss the current limitations related to the study of the nMJJ, what can be done to improve the device and better understand the underlying physics, and where the community can focus its efforts to develop magnetic Josephson junctions for neuromorphic applications.
