    Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and circuits for reducing switch transition time of superconductor switches. In some embodiments, an electrical circuit includes: (i) an input component configured to generate heat in response to an electrical input; and (ii) a first superconducting component thermally-coupled to the input component. The electrical circuit is configured such that, in the absence of the electrical input, at least a portion of the first superconducting component is maintained in a non-superconducting state in the absence of the electrical input; and, in response to the electrical input, the first superconducting component transitions to a superconducting state.

    Abstract: An example electric circuit includes a superconductor component having a first terminal at a first end and a second terminal at a second end. The superconductor component includes a first portion coupled to the first terminal, a second portion coupled to the second terminal, and a third portion coupling the first portion and the second portion. The third portion has a curved shape such that the first portion of the superconductor component is proximate to, and thermally coupled to, the second portion of the superconductor component. The example electric circuit further includes a coupling component coupled to the third portion of the superconductor component, and a gate component configured to generate a resistive heat that exceeds a superconducting threshold temperature of the superconductor component, where the gate component is separated from the superconductor component by the coupling component.
