Quantum tunneling to boost memory consolidation in AI

https://techxplore.com/news/2023-02-quantum-tunneling-boost-memory-ai.html

"energy-efficient way to consolidate long-term memories on tiny chip... AI mimics synapse to continuously learn new tasks without forgetting how to perform old tasks... two coupled reservoirs of electrons where electrons use Fowler-Nordheim (FN) quantum tunneling to jump through a triangular barrier, and in the process, change shape of barrier.... prototype array of 128 of these hourglass devices on a chip less than a millimeter in size... long-term and short-term memory on the same device"
