Quantum flux type logic circuits utilizing Josephson junction transmission lines

A quantum-flux-type logic circuit is proposed which is composed of Josephson junction transmission lines, along which localized magnetic flux can propagate. By choosing bias current properly, the duplication of magnetic flux and a variety of logical functions can be obtained without changing the circuit topology. Computer simulation results are presented on AND and OR operations with two and three inputs for the same circuit topology, confirming that these circuits can be used as logic circuits. The simulations demonstrate the high-speed operation and low power consumption of this circuit.<
