I suspect this may be redundant information as my readership is probably entirely contained in the superset of D-Wave’s blog readership, but… For anyone who didn’t see it, there is a series of new posts over at Geordie’s blog about D-Wave’s technology, aims, results, fabrication and mostly anything else you could wish to know about [...]

Some nice D-Wave info

Designing qubit circuits
Posted in RSFQ, experimental insights, learnin' stuff, quantum computing, research blogging on October 21, 2009 | 3 Comments »
It’s hard work being the only postdoc in the village. One day I’m fixing wiring on the fridge, the next I’m analysing the effect of spin-flip scattering on my superconductor-ferromagnet data. Today I’m being the local RSFQ/SQUID layout afficionado.
I’m designing some qubit circuits. Process design rules are a pain, there are about 10 layers in [...]
Quantum Neural Networks 1 – the Superconducting Neuron model
Posted in BCI, RSFQ, feeling dumb, learnin' stuff, quantum computing, superconductors on July 20, 2009 | 12 Comments »
I’m interested in Quantum Neural Networks, specifically how to actually build the things. Any input would be greatly appreciated on this one. This is open notebook science in an extreme sense: I’m discussing here something I’d like to go into eventually, it may be several years down the line, but it’s worth thinking about it [...]
EUROFLUX 2009

If you are passionate about fine wine, cheese, and superconducting digital electronics, you may wish to attend the EUROFLUX 2009 conference taking place in beautiful Avignon in the South of France.
Although Euroflux is based on a European framework, the conference is international, and people are welcome to attend. You can read my review of [...]
Savoie experimental superconducting electronics workshop
Posted in RSFQ, conferences on April 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
At the moment I’m attending an S-Pulse superconducting electronics (SCE) workshop at the University of Savoie in Chambery, France.
So far we’ve had talks about single photon detectors, hot electron bolometers, junction measurements, ballistic readout of qubits, Terahertz imaging, modelling inductances and superconducting circuits, cryocooling and cryopackaging, and plenty of RSFQ related information.
Yesterday morning we had [...]
EUROFLUX2008
Posted in RSFQ, conferences, quantum computing, superconductors on October 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’ve just returned from the EUROFLUX2008 conference in Naples. The conference dealt with two main aspects of superconducting electronics: Fundamental device progress and superconducting devices as detectors. (I was mainly in with the first bunch).
A few conference highlights:
Devices
Valery Ryazanov gave a good presenation on the progress of pi junction applications for digital and quantum [...]
FLUXONICS
Posted in RSFQ, research blogging, superconductors on September 14, 2008 | 5 Comments »
FLUXONICS is a european framework dedicated to furthering research into superconducting electronics and digital circuits. Within this framework is the S-Pulse project, which I am currently involved in. As part of this project, I recently visited the FLUXONICS foundry for superconducting electronics at IPHT, Jena for a Technology training workshop.
There are several institutions involved [...]
