The core innovation is AI hardware: a superconducting chip running a small neuromorphic neural network, with memory integrated onto the circuit, to flag plasma instabilities. So far it has only been tested by replaying archived DIII-D data at full sample rate, not by controlling a live tokamak, and results are not yet published. Readers should treat the gigahertz-speed claims as unverified until peer-reviewed results and a live deployment appear.

Brookhaven Lab Debuts Chip for Fusion Plasma Monitoring

Quantum ZeitgeistOctober 24, 20263 min read

Brookhaven National Laboratory debuted a superconducting chip designed to help monitor fusion plasma in real time, developed with U.S. Department of Energy facilities and Great Sky. The chip’s makers hope the hardware can operate quickly enough to control the extremely hot, temperamental plasma inside tokamaks and prevent disruptions.
