ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 1 -- United States Patent no. 12,725,062, issued on Sept. 1, was assigned to INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES Corp. (Armonk, N.Y.).
"Effective synchronous gates for rapid single flux quantum logic" was invented by Takeo Yasuda (Nara, Japan), Robert K. Montoye (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.), Gerald W. Gibson (Danbury, Conn.) and Sergey Rylov (White Plains, N.Y.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A superconducting multi-stage synchronous logic circuit structure includes a first clocked logic gate, a second clocked logic gate, and an unclocked logic gate. Each of the logic gates includes Josephson junctions. The first clocked logic gate has a single first clocked logic gate output; t...
