Abstract
A superconducting integrated circuit including a clock distribution network for distributing a clock signal in the superconducting integrated circuit is provided. The clock distribution network may include a clock structure having unit cells, where each of the unit cells may include at least one spine and at least one stub. The clock structure may further include at least one spine connected to the at least one stub, where the at least one stub may further be inductively coupled to at least one superconducting element. The clock signal may have a wavelength. Each of the unit cells may be spaced apart from each other along the clock structure by a distance, where the distance may be less than one tenth of the wavelength.
