Abstract
A superconducting electron device is disclosed, in which a pair of parallel superconducting channels each having a Josephson junction therein are provided between source and drain electrodes, and a gate electrode is provided to apply a voltage to the channels to make potentials at each channels different to each other. The current flow through channels is controlled by the application of a voltage to the gate electrode based on electrostatic Aharanov-Bohm effect. The device uses the coherency characteristics of the superconducting material, thus high speed switching operation can be achieved.
