摘要

Abstract

Optical sensors with in-cell logic and memory capabilities offer new horizons in realizing machine vision beyond von Neumann architectures and have been attempted with two-dimensional materials

memristive oxides

phase-changing materials etc. Noting the unparalleled performance of superconductors with both quantum-limited optical sensitivities and ultra-wide spectrum coverage

here we report a superconducting memlogic long-wave infrared sensor based on the bistability in hysteretic superconductor-normal phase transition. Driven cooperatively by electrical and optical pulses

the device offers deterministic in-sensor switching between resistive and superconducting (hence dissipationless) states with persistence

s. This results in a resilient reconfigurable memlogic system applicable for

e.g.

encrypted communications. Besides

a high infrared sensitivity at 12.2 μm is achieved through its in-situ metamaterial perfect absorber design. Our work opens the avenue to realize all-in-one superconducting memlogic sensors

surpassing biological retina capabilities in both sensitivity and wavelength

and presents a groundbreaking opportunity to integrate visional perception capabilities into superconductor-based intelligent quantum machines.
