Active Projects

Petaflops-Scale Supercomputer

NASA and NSA-sponsored project aimed to build the first petaflops-scale hybrid-technology multithreaded supercomputer

SFQ-Counting Analog-to-Digital Converter

This is the most successful RSFQ project at SUNY -- the world's fastest and most accurate analog-to-digital converter which is BTW fully functional.

Digital SQUID

SQUIDs are Superconductive Interferometric Devices -- in some sense, very sensitive magnetometers. Digital SQUIDs -- you guess it right! -- are even more sensitive.

Digital-to-Analog Converter and Voltage Multiplier

This piece of hardware is one of the most important parts of radar systems and voltage standards.

Closed Projects

General-Purpose Microprocessor

The first known attempt to implement a minimal, but functionally complete RSFQ microprocessor with RISC architecture

Digital Autocorrelator

Autocorrelators help to detect extremely weak signals on the background of white noise.

Multi-Chip Modules and Inter-Chip Communications

Is it possible to put more than one RSFQ superconducting chip at a single multi-chip module? If so, is it possible to send SFQ pulses from one chip to another?

Superconductor Memory

No memory -- no future! Although each RSFQ elementary cell has internal storage capacity, there is still no good general-purpose random access RSFQ memory...

Feasibility of RSFQ-Based Network Data Switches

High-speed data communications will undoubtedly become of vital importance in the nearest future. Is there a niche for RSFQ in the market?

Tri-Stable Elements

The persistant current in a superconductor loop can flow clockwise and counterclockwise. Also, there can be no current in the loop whantsoever. This exotic study questions if it is feasible to build tri-stable-state RSFQ cells?
