چکیده
Superconductor electronics fabrication technology developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory enables the development of VLSI digital circuits with millions Josephson junctions per square centimeter. However, conventional DC and multi-phase AC biasing techniques already encounter serious challenges for scaling above several hundred thousand junctions. In this work, we propose a novel AC-based scheme RSFQ-type logic families requiring bias. The major step toward is superconducting AC/DC rectifier which introduced ASC 2014. Initially, proposed to connect rectifiers 'payload cells' via inductors large inductance in order reduce parasitic effects flux quantization. Recently, discovered that powering works even better much lower value inductance, when it just sufficient hold only one or two quanta inductive loop between converter payload. case, quantization becomes beneficial because current fed into payload defined by coupling inductance. Therefore, our AC/SFQ powers cell single quantum rather than current. Such mode operation extremely energy efficient used recover consumed during operation. We present designs converters comprising an conditioning circuit termed SFQ filter. also test results demonstrate using fabricated new, 150-nm node self-shunted Nb/AlOx-Al/Nb 600 $\mu$A/$\mu$$m^2$ critical density 200 nm minimum linewidth inductors.

Demonstration of an optical interface for SFQ logic circuits
Single-flux-quantum (SFQ) logic circuits are expected to be operative at a clock rate above 100GHz with very low power consumption. A considerable amount of research has been performed on this topic, and noteworthy achievements, e. g. 120 GHz shift register [1] and microprocessor consists of over 10,000 junctions [2], have been reported recently. With the progress of the performance of SFQ circ...

Users need better ways to explore large complex linked data resources. Using SPARQL requires not only mastering its syntax and semantics but also understanding the RDF data model, the ontology and URIs for entities of interest. Natural language question answering systems solve the problem, but these are still subjects of research. The Schema agnostic SPARQL queries task defined in SAQ-2015 chal...
