This study demonstrates precise control over vanadium dioxide neuristors to mimic synaptic plasticity, specifically enabling hardware-level mechanisms for learning and forgetting through electron flow manipulation. By leveraging coherent X-ray diffraction to observe these phase transitions, the research advances the development of energy-efficient, brain-inspired computing architectures that go beyond current silicon limitations.
UC San Diego unlocks quantum control of ‘learning’ & ‘forgetting’ material

UC San Diego researchers achieved quantum control of a vanadium dioxide neuristor, enabling it to “learn” & “forget” by manipulating its phase transition.
Researchers at UC San Diego have unlocked a method for controlling how a material “learns” and “forgets,” using vanadium dioxide to construct a neuristor, a device designed to mimic brain function. By observing the material while…
