The ultimate goal of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA)'s Cryogenic Computing Complexity (C3) program is to demonstrate a complete superconducting computer including processing units and cryogenic memory. IARPA expects that the C3 program will be a five-year two-phase program. Phase one, which encompasses the first three years, primarily serves to develop the technologies that are required to separately demonstrate a small superconducting processor and memory units. Phase two, which is for the final two years, will integrate those new technologies into a small-scale working model of a superconducting computer. Program goals are presented, and the approaches of the phase-one teams are reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
