SiC Transistors Mimic Brain Cells at 10mK for Quantum Control

Quantum ZeitgeistJune 12, 20263 min read

HKU Engineering’s new platform uses Silicon Carbide transistors to mimic biological neurons, operating at 10mK.

Engineers at HKU have demonstrated the first “brain-like” chip capable of mimicking biological neurons at a frigid 10 millikelvin, a crucial step toward solving the wiring challenges that limit quantum computer scalability. The team, led by Professor Yuhao Zhang and PhD student Xin Yang, harnessed a unique property of Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, a stable “S-shape” negative differential resistance, to create energy-efficient circuits operating near absolute…
