Abstract
One example includes a superconducting bidirectional current driver. The current driver includes a first direction superconducting latch that is activated in response to a first activation signal to provide a first current path of an input current through a bidirectional current load in a first direction. The current driver also includes a second direction superconducting latch that is activated in response to a second activation signal to provide a second current path of the input current through the bidirectional current load in a second direction opposite the first direction.
