JOSEPHSON AC/DC CONVERTER SYSTEMS AND METHOD

摘要

One embodiment describes an AC/DC converter system. The system includes a flux-shuttle loop that is inductively coupled with an AC input signal. The system also includes a plurality of Josephson junctions spaced about the flux shuttle loop that are configured to sequentially trigger in response to the AC input signal and to provide a single-flux quantum (SFQ) pulse that moves sequentially around the flux-shuttle loop that results in a DC output signal being provided through an output inductor.
