Superconducting Neuromorphic Chip Slashes Fusion Plasma Control Latency to 4µs

Brookhaven National Laboratory's superconducting neuromorphic chip demonstrates microsecond-scale inference for fusion plasma control tasks—equilibrium reconstruction, tearing mode identification, and disruption prediction—with total latency under 4µs and picosecond jitter, outperforming FPGA and GPU approaches while consuming only 6µW compute power, though cryogenic integration and scaling challenges remain before deployment.
