Parameter scales:
Bulk version:
a ~ 3 mm
τ ~ 50 µs
Thin-film version:
w ~ 1 mm, Ic ~ 1 A
L ~ 10-11 H, R ~ 10-3 Ω
τ ~ L/R ~ 10 ns
E ~ LIc2 ~10-11 J/bit
If scaled down to w ~100 nm:
Ic ~ 100 µA, R ~ 10 Ω
τ ~ 1 ps, E ~ 10-19 J/bit
(right in the present-day’s
ballpark!)

Major problems:
- JJ technology (Pb alloys)
- needs ac power/clock (crosstalk, etc.)
- punchthrough effect at reset (1 ns scale)

- 6,300 gates (23,000 JJs)
- 12 mW, fc < 1 GHz

Reversible Computation (II)
ASC’12 Portland, OR
Sacrificing reversibility at a few critical points,
hardware demands may be dramatically quenched
Two other problems are much worse:
(i) relatively low speed, and
(ii) very low parameter margins

YBCO RSFQ circuit working up to 30 K
However, a fundamental problem:
IC ∝∝∝∝ T (fluctuations)
L ~ Φ0/IC (quantization)
Lmin ∝∝∝∝ λλλλ(T) (striplines)
fine if λλλλ(0) ∝∝∝∝ 1/TC , but this is not so
By now: TFF up to 500 GHz
