Abstract

Superconducting circuits and memories that use a magnetic Josephson junction (MJJ) device as a pi inverter are disclosed. The MJJ device includes superconducting layers configured to allow a flow of a supercurrent through the MJJ device. The MJJ device further includes a magnetic layer arranged between the superconducting layers, where the magnetic layer has an associated magnetization direction, and where the first state of the MJJ device corresponds to a zero-phase of a supercurrent flowing through the MJJ device and the second state of the MJJ device corresponds to a π-phase of the supercurrent flowing through the MJJ device. In response to an application of a magnetic field, without any change in the magnetization direction of the magnetic layer, the MJJ device is configured to switch from the first state to the second state responsive to a change in a phase of the supercurrent.
