Foil 13 Superconducting Technology -- Present

From Master Set of Foils for 1997 Session of CPS615 CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox
New ideas have resurrected this concept using RSFQ -- Rapid Single Flux Quantum -- approach
This naturally gives a bit which is 0 or 1 (or in fact n units!)
This gives interesting circuits of similar structure to CMOS systems but with a clock speed of order 100-300GHz -- factor of 100 better than CMOS which will asymptote at around 1 GHz (= one nanosecond cycle time)
