Abstract
A single-flux-quantum digital device includes a first superconducting line extended in a large ring, a second superconducting line connected to the first superconducting line, a superconducting single electron transistor for regulating a supercurrent flowing through the second superconducting line, and a small tunnel junction device for detecting a change in the supercurrent flowing through the first superconducting line. The first superconducting line is extended in a large ring. The second superconducting line divides the large ring into two small rings which are substantially the same in shape and area. The small tunnel junction device is connected to a point where the first and the second superconducting line are joined.
