Abstract
A superconducting non-linear device includes a superconducting conductor, a current source associated with the conductor for applying to the conductor a bias current, and a control device associated with the current source for selectably controlling the magnitude of the bias current. The non-linear device according to the invention may be used in a number of circuit configurations, including a balanced mixer.
