Abstract:
The resonant conditions of non-linear Josephson junctions are reduced by shaping the junctions differently than a conventional rectangular shape. For a given value of L/ lambda J, where L is the junction length and lambda J is the Josephson penetration depth, non-rectangular junctions have reduced resonance current amplitudes when compared with rectangular junctions. The reduction in resonance current amplitudes allows the junction to be used in logic configurations with less stringent requirements on the current swings of the Josephson current required to perform switching.
Abstract:
Superconductive circuitry using a first Josephson tunneling device connected to a transmission line having a termination such that no reflections result when the Josephson tunneling diode switches between two stable voltage states, in accordance with applied input signals. Means are provided for producing the input signals to switch the first Josephson tunneling device and further Josephson tunneling devices are provided whose voltage state depends on the current pulse delivered to the transmission line when the first Josephson tunneling device switches from a first voltage state to a second voltage state. Logic circuitry is shown using this structure, as well as fan-in and fan-out Josephson tunneling device circuits.
