Agreed the prose was a bit over the top, but I expect such is the expectation in the authors’ circles. Much was general, but I did appreciate the simple reasoning on labeling inaccuracy from just scraping the web for pictures of individuals with autism spectrum disorders and mostly getting pictures of those who also had chromosomal disorders.

The original superconducting logic schemes were established a long time ago and companies started working on computing circuits as early as the 1960s. IBM spun out its own attempt in the early 1980s when it became apparent that this CMOS thing was going to pan out a lot faster.

Certain flavors of superconducting digital logic (there are a handful) such as AQFP (adiabatic quantum flux parametron) actually get close to the Landauer limit (with cooling power excepted). Interconnect (as some comments have noted) and lack of a good memory technology are the challenges for all these architectures.

In this PNN approach you are solving for what additional stimuli, when applied to the system alongside the inputs, produce the desired result for a given input. In reservoir computing (RC) you don’t bother to provide any additional stimuli, and find the linear combination of reservoir outputs that gives the desired result. Training the former is more demanding and analogous to a NN (thus the name), but directly produces your answer from the system. The latter is very easy to train (one regression) but requires post processing for inference.
