    Abstract: The invention is notably directed to a method of operating a superconducting channel. The method relies on a device including: a potentially superconducting material; a gate electrode; and an electrically insulating medium. A channel is defined by the potentially superconducting material. The gate electrode positioned adjacent to the channel, such that an end surface of the gate electrode faces a portion of the channel. The electrically insulating medium is arranged in such a manner that it electrically insulates the gate electrode from the channel. Rendering the channel superconducting by cooling down the device. Next, a voltage difference is applied between the gate electrode and the channel to inject electrons in the channel through the electrically insulating medium and thereby generate a gate current between the gate electrode and the channel. The electrons are injected with an average energy sufficient to modify a critical current IC of the channel.

    Abstract: A method includes forming a capacitor pad (304A, 304B) for a nonlinear resonator. The method includes comparing a resonance frequency of the nonlinear resonator to a target frequency to determine whether the resonance frequency falls within a range of the target frequency. A device includes a first capacitor pad comprising a superconducting material, the first capacitor pad configured to couple to a first end of a logic circuit element. The device includes a second capacitor pad comprising a second superconducting material, the capacitor pad configured to couple to a second end of the logic circuit element. The second capacitor pad includes a first portion (306A, 306B); a second portion (308A, 308B); and a bridge (310A, 310B) configured to electrically connect the first portion (306A, 306B) and the second portion (308A, 308B).
