5. ROADMAP<br />

The roadmap below shows the specification and the proposed schedule of the critical project stages related to the<br />

development of the interconnect technology from cryogenic processors to room temperature mass memory systems<br />

for a system demonstration. The roadmap assumes full-government funding. There are no known industrial<br />

companies in the U.S. that would fully support this work at this stage.<br />
