MesoDynamical Architectures (Meso)
Abstract
The Meso program exploited recently discovered physics at small scales to demonstrate transformative communication, sensing, and computing technologies for the DoD. The length scale targeted was between the nanoscale and macroscale, known as mesoscale, and is an important intersection between classical and quantum mechanical effects where new combined phenomenon has emerged. The program was divided into four thrusts: nonlinearity and noise, coherent collective dynamics, information transduction, and coherent feedback control. In each of these thrusts, performers focused on demonstrating specific technologies that have significant impact on DoD capabilities. Technologies included high-performance frequency sources, transistors operating at 100 times lower power than current state-of-the-art, a hand-held biotoxin detector, and attojoule optical switches.
