    Abstract: A system comprises a superconducting quantizing inductor and superconducting control circuitry, which is coupled to the superconducting quantizing inductor to form a superconducting loop, and which is configured to selectively inject a quantized amount of positive or negative current into the superconducting loop to generate a quantized circulating current in the superconducting loop. The quantized circulating current comprises a time-varying or static circulating current. The superconducting control circuitry comprises first and second current generator circuits which comprise a first and second plurality of Josephson junctions, respectively, which are configured to inject quantized amounts of positive current and negative current into the superconducting loop in response to single flux quantum pulses. The first and second current generator circuits comprise respective first and second current distribution networks that are configured to distribute circulating current in the superconducting loop to the respective Josephson junctions without causing switching of the Josephson junctions.

    Abstract: One or more systems, devices and/or methods of use provided herein relate to a device that can facilitate selective switching between band pass and band stop filter modes and/or can provide reflectionless or near reflectionless function. A device can comprise a filter circuit coupled between a pair of ports and comprising a direct current superconducting quantum interference device (DC SQUID), wherein the filter circuit is selectively activatable by varying the inductance of the DC SQUID. Applying flux bias to the DC SQUID can allow for the switching between the band pass and band stop filter modes.

    Abstract: One or more systems, devices, methods of use and/or methods of fabrication provided herein relate to a device that can facilitate qubit measurement with isolation imposed between a quantum processor and a respective qubit measurement circuit and/or which respective qubit measurement circuit can have a small footprint, such as within a respective cryogenic chamber of a quantum system. According to one embodiment, a device comprises an isolator circuit having a bandpass filter configuration coupled between a pair of ports and the bandpass filter configuration comprising two or more poles. Two or more shunt resonators can be realized as the two or more poles, wherein the two or more shunt resonators can comprise DC SQUIDs and can be coupled together with one or more admittance inverters. A non-reciprocal signal transmission can be generated between the two ports by RF pumping the DC SQUIDs.
