    摘要: Superconducting integrated circuit layouts are proofed against the detrimental effects of stray flux by designing and fabricating them to have one or more ground planes patterned in the x-y plane with a regular grid of low-aspect-ratio flux-trapping voids. The ground plane(s) can be globally patterned with such voids and thousands or more superconducting circuit devices and wires can thereafter be laid out so as not to intersect or come so close to the voids that the trapped flux would induce supercurrents in them, thus preventing undesirable coupling of flux into circuit elements. Sandwiching a wire layer between patterned ground planes permits wires to be laid out even closer to the voids. Voids of successively smaller maximum dimension can be concentrically stacked in pyramidal fashion in multiple ground plane layers having different superconductor transition temperatures, increasing the x-y area available for device placement and wire-up.

The superconductive gate system includes a Josephson D-gate circuit comprising a bi-stable loop configured to store a digital state as one of a first data state and a second data state in response to an enable single flux quantum (SFQ) pulse provided on an enable input and a respective presence of or absence of a data SFQ pulse provided on a data input. The digital state can be provided at an output. The readout circuit is coupled to the output and can be configured to reproduce the digital state as an output signal.
