Patent attributes
A superconducting circuit comprises a resonator and a Josephson junction. The resonator comprises an inductor and a capacitor. The inductor comprises a first terminal and a second terminal. The second terminal of the inductor is electrically coupled to a first terminal of the capacitor. A second terminal of the capacitor is electrically coupled to a first terminal of the Josephson junction. The terminal shared by the inductor and the capacitor is configured to be electrically coupled to an alternating current (AC) voltage source having a particular frequency and particular phase. The inductance of the inductor and the capacitance of the capacitor are selected to cause the resonator to resonate at a frequency and a phase that substantially match the particular frequency and the particular phase, respectively, of the AC voltage source to facilitate switching a state of the Josephson junction via a single flux quantum (SFQ) pulse.
