Abstract
Current-based superconductor memory cell and related systems and methods are provided. A method in a memory system, having at least one storage circuit and at least one read SQUID, includes applying bit-line current, via a read bit-line not including any Josephson transmission line (JTL) elements, to the at least one read SQUID. The method further includes applying word-line current, via a read word-line not including any JTL elements, to the at least one read SQUID. The method further includes using the at least one read SQUID reading a logic state of the memory cell based on data maintained in the storage circuit.
