Memory cell operation based on small Josephson junctions arrays

Abstract In this paper we analyze a cryogenic memory cell circuit based on a small coupled array of Josephson junctions. All the basic memory operations (e.g., write, read, and reset) are implemented on the same circuit and different junctions in the array can in principle be utilized for these operations. The presented memory operation paradigm is fundamentally different from conventional single quantum flux operation logics (SFQ). As an example, we demonstrate memory operation driven by a SFQ pulse employing an inductively coupled array of three Josephson junctions. We have chosen realistic Josephson junction parameters based on state-of-the-art fabrication capabilities and have calculated access times and access energies for basic memory cell operations. We also implemented an optimization procedure based on the simulated annealing algorithm to calculate the optimized and typical values of access times and access energies.

Experimental demonstration of a Josephson cryogenic memory cell based on coupled Josephson junction arrays

Niketh Nair, Amir Jafari-Salim, Anthony J. D’Addario +2 more

Abstract In this paper, experimental verification for a cryogenic memory cell consisting of three inductively coupled Josephson junctions is presented. Design and operational logic of this type of cell was recently introduced. The basic memory cell operations (read, write, reset) can be implemented on the same simple circuit and this type of memory cell is fundamentally different from the existing single flux quantum-based memory cells. Here, we present design principles and experimental validation for write operations and readout operation for four versions of the design, each with different parameters. Our experimental results show excellent resemblance with the previously presented memory cell operational logic and also show an excellent fit with simulations of the entire memory cell circuit that includes the memory cell and all the peripheral circuitry.

A ternary memory cell using small Josephson junction arrays

Niketh Nair, Yehuda Y. Braiman

Abstract In this paper we present a ternary cryogenic memory cell paradigm that is based on an array of inductively coupled Josephson junctions. We show how reading, writing and resetting are implemented using single flux quantum current pulse inputs to the circuit and reading voltage pulse outputs from the circuit. We further show how both destructive readout and non-destructive readout can be implemented.
