Fluxonic Processor And Processing Photonic Synapse Events

patent description

(1) Disclosed is a fluxonic processor for fluxonic processing of photonic synapse events, the fluxonic processor comprising: a transmitter that receives neuron signal and produces output photons from the neuron signal; a neuron in electrical communication with the transmitter and that receives a dendrite signal, produces the neuron signal from the dendrite signal, and communicates the neuron signal to the transmitter; a dendrite in electrical communication with the neuron and that receives a synapse signal, produces the dendrite signal from the synapse signal, and communicates the dendrite signal to the neuron, the dendrite comprising: a dendritic receiver loop that receives the synapse signal from a synapse and produces dendrite receiver fluxons; a dendritic Josephson isolator in communication with the dendritic receiver loop and that receives the dendrite receiver fluxons from the dendritic receiver loop; and a dendritic integration loop that receives the dendrite receiver fluxons from the dendritic Josephson isolator and produces the dendrite signal from the dendrite receiver fluxons; and the synapse in electrical communication with the dendrite and that receives an input photon, produces the synapse signal from the input photon, and communicates the synapse signal to the dendrite, the synapse comprising: a synaptic receiver that receives the input photon and produces synaptic receiver fluxons; a synaptic Josephson isolator in communication with the synaptic receiver and that receives the synaptic receiver fluxons from the dendritic receiver loop; and a synaptic integration loop that receives the synaptic receiver fluxons from the synaptic Josephson isolator and produces the synapse signal from the synaptic receiver fluxons.

(2) Disclosed is a process for fluxonic processing of photonic synapse events with the fluxonic processor, the process comprising: receiving an input photon by the synaptic receiver of the synapse; producing fluxons by the synaptic receiver; receiving the fluxons by the synaptic Josephson isolator from the synaptic receiver; communicating fluxons from the synaptic Josephson isolator to the synaptic integration loop; receiving the fluxons from the synaptic Josephson isolator by the synaptic integration loop; producing a synaptic integrated current from the fluxons by a synaptic coupling inductor; inductively coupling the synaptic integrated current from the synaptic integrated current to a mutual inductor of the dendrite; receiving the synaptic integrated current by the mutual inductor from the synaptic integration loop; producing dendrite current in the dendritic receiver loop from receiving the synaptic integrated current; receiving the dendritic current from the dendritic receiver loop by the dendritic Josephson isolator; communicating fluxons from the dendritic Josephson isolator to the dendritic integration loop in response to receiving the dendritic current; receiving fluxons from the dendritic Josephson isolator by the dendritic integration loop; and producing dendritic integrated current as a dendrite signal in response to receiving the fluxons by the dendritic integration loop to fluxonic process receipt of the input photon with the fluxonic processor.
