Abstract
Output amplifier comprising a stack of compound superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) output amplifier stages and related methods are provided. A method includes receiving a first pulse train comprising a first plurality of single flux quantum (SFQ) pulses. The method may further include receiving a second pulse train comprising a second plurality of SFQ pulses, where the second pulse train is delayed by a predetermined fraction of a clock cycle relative to the first pulse train. The method may further include using the stack of the plurality of compound SQUID output amplifier stages converting the first plurality of SFQ pulses and the second plurality of SFQ pulses into a voltage waveform, where each of the plurality of compound SQUID output amplifier stages comprises a pair of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs).
