Josephson Junction Digital Circuits -- Challenges and Opportunities
نویسنده
چکیده
In spite of the rather large investment in research in superconducting electronics in the U.S. and Japan and elsewhere, there has been remarkably little payoff in terms of practical applications. By "practical applications" I mean products which are used by others outside the superconducting electronics community for their own purposes, without a primary interest in how the superconducting device works. By "electronics" I mean active electron devices, excluding passive conductors, filters, etc.

Niobium-Silicide Junction Technology for Superconducting Digital Electronics
We present a technology based on Nb/NbxSi1−x/Nb junctions, with barriers near the metal-insulator transition, for applications in superconducting electronics (SCE) as an alternative to Nb/AlOx/Nb tunnel junctions. Josephson junctions with co-sputtered amorphous Nb-Si barriers can be made with a wide variety of electrical properties: critical current density (Jc), capacitance (C), and normal res...

With the goal of understanding the intricate behavior and dynamics of collections of neurons, we present superconducting circuits containing Josephson junctions that model biologically realistic neurons. These "Josephson junction neurons" reproduce many characteristic behaviors of biological neurons such as action potentials, refractory periods, and firing thresholds. They can be coupled togeth...

متن کاملJosephson Current For a Graphene Nanoribbon Using a Lattice Model
A tight binding approach based on the Bogoliubov-de Gennes approach has been used to calculate the DC Josephson current for a lattice model for S-GNR-S junctions , for short junctions with respect to superconducting coherence length. We calculate the phase, length, width and chemical potential dependence at the Josephson junction and discuss the similarities and differences with regard to the t...
متن کاملClassical analogs for Rabi-oscillations, Ramsey-fringes, and spin- echo in Josephson junctions
We investigate the results of recently published experiments on the quantum behavior of Josephson circuits in terms of the classical modelling based on the resistively and capacitivelyshunted (RCSJ) junction model. Our analysis shows evidence for a close analogy between the nonlinear behavior of a pulsed microwave-driven Josephson junction at low temperature and low dissipation and the experime...
