Abstract

Several critical applications of superconducting electronics that have been successfully commercialized are the Josephson voltage standard, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometers, superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) mixers, and analog filters. More recently, digital and mixed-signal circuits based on rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) logic have also made an impression on the high-speed/high-frequency electronics application markets.
