Raytheon Developing Superconducting Computing Technology for Intelligence Community

A Raytheon BBN Technologies-led team is developing prototype cryogenic memory arrays and a scalable control architecture under an award from the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity Cryogenic Computing Complexity program.

The team recently demonstrated an energy-efficient superconducting/ferromagnetic memory cell—the first integration of a superconducting switch controlling a cryogenic memory element.

"This research could generate a new approach to supercomputing that is more efficient, faster, less expensive, and requires a smaller footprint," said Zachary Dutton, Ph.D. and manager of the quantum technologies division at Raytheon BBN Technologies.
