Abstract

One example includes a superconducting transmission line driver system. The system includes an input stage configured to receive an input pulse and an AC bias current source configured to provide an AC bias current. The system also includes an amplifier coupled to the input stage and configured to generate a plurality of sequential SFQ pulses based on the input pulse in response to the AC bias current. The system further includes a low-pass filter configured to filter the plurality of sequential SFQ pulses to generate an amplified output pulse that is output to a transmission line.
