Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a reciprocal quantum logic (RQL) inverter including an inverter bias tap, a pulse generating Josephson junction (JJ), and a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) based structure, which includes a SQUID JJ and is connected between the inverter bias tap and the pulse generating JJ. The SQUID based structure is configured to receive an inverter bias signal from the inverter bias tap and receive a data input from a previous circuit stage. When the data input is at logic state '0,' the pulse generating JJ can be triggered so as to provide an output signal with logic state '1.' When the data input is at logic state “1,” the first SQUID JJ can be triggered thereby preventing the pulse generating JJ from be triggered, such that the output signal is provided at logic state “0.”
