Abstract
Push-pull flux quantum superconducting digital logic circuits are provided with a circuit branch having a pair of Josephson junctions electrically connected in series with each other. This circuit branch is connected between positive and negative bias voltage supplies which supply a bias current to the Josephson junctions. A dual polarity input voltage signal is applied to a node in the circuit branch and an output signal is extracted from a second node in the circuit branch. Various logic operations can be performed on the input signal by adding additional components and changing the points at which voltage is input to and output from the Josephson junction circuit branch.
