Abstract
Superconducting integrated circuits and methods of forming these circuits are discussed. One superconducting integrated circuit has a substrate and a control device formed by a layer of high kinetic inductance material overlying the substrate. The control device has a loop of material, electrical connections between the loop of material and a power line, a coupling element connected to the loop of material, a pair of Josephson junctions that interrupt the loop of material, and an energy storage element connected to the loop of material. An alternative superconducting integrated circuit has a kinetic inductance device formed in a high kinetic inductance layer. The device has a compound Josephson junction structure with two parallel current paths with respective Josephson junctions, a loop of material connected to the compound Josephson junction structure, and a coupling structure. The circuit also has an additional device that couples to the coupling structure.
