dc.description.abstract | We present optically and electrically tunable conductance modifications of a site-controlled quantum-dot memristor. The conductance of the device is tuned by electron localization on a quantum dot. The control of the conductance with voltage and low-power light pulses enables applications in neuromorphic and arithmetic computing. As in neural networks, applying pre- and postsynaptic voltage pulses to the memristor allows us to increase (potentiation) or decrease (depression) the conductance by tuning the time difference between the electrical pulses. Exploiting state-dependent thresholds for potentiation and depression, we are able to demonstrate a memory-dependent induction of learning. The discharging of the quantum dot can further be induced by low-power light pulses in the nanowatt range. In combination with the state-dependent threshold voltage for discharging, this enables applications as generic building blocks to perform arithmetic operations in bases ranging from binary to decimal with low-power optical excitation. Our findings allow the realization of optoelectronic memristor-based synapses in artificial neural networks with a memory-dependent induction of learning and enhanced functionality by performing arithmetic operations. | |
