A superconducting sampler for Josephson logic circuits

Abstract
A method is described for automating a technique which is used to sample transition duration (rise time) in superconducting logic circuits. The method is based on measuring the time at which a biased Josephson junction switches under the influence of an applied signal. The system transition duration is limited primarily by time jitter which is estimated to be 7 ps. Transition durations of as little as 9 ps have been observed.
