One example includes an amplifier system. The system includes an input configured to receive an input pulse, a first input path coupled to the input and configured to provide the input pulse to a control node, and a second input path coupled to the input and comprising at least one delay element to provide a delayed version of the input pulse to the control node. The system also includes a first amplifier device comprising the control node and being configured to provide a control flux in response to the input pulse and in response to the delayed version of the input pulse. The system further includes a second amplifier device coupled to the first amplifier device, the second amplifier device being set to a flux state in response to the control flux to provide an output voltage.

Non-return to zero (NRZ) amplifier system

One example includes a superconducting latch system. The system includes a first input stage configured to receive a first input pulse and a second input stage configured to receive a second input pulse. The system also includes a storage loop configured to switch from a first state to a second state in response to receiving the first input pulse, and to switch from the second state to the first state in response to the second input pulse. The first state corresponds to no flux in the storage loop and the second state corresponds to a flux in the storage loop. The system further includes an output stage configured to generate an output pulse in the second state of the storage loop.
