Abstract

The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for operating superconducting circuitry. In one aspect, a programmable circuit includes: (1) a superconducting component arranged in a multi-dimensional array of alternating narrow and wide portions; (2) a plurality of heat sources, each heat source thermally-coupled to, and electrically-isolated from, a respective narrow portion of the multi-dimensional array; and (3) a plurality of electrical terminals, each electrical terminal coupled to a respective wide portion of the multi-dimensional array.
