We have developed a new superconducting digital technology, Reciprocal
Quantum Logic, that uses AC power carried on a transmission line, which also
serves as a clock. Using simple experiments we have demonstrated zero static
power dissipation, thermally limited dynamic power dissipation, high clock
stability, high operating margins and low BER. These features indicate that the
technology is scalable to far more complex circuits at a significant level of
integration. On the system level, Reciprocal Quantum Logic combines the high
speed and low-power signal levels of Single-Flux- Quantum signals with the
design methodology of CMOS, including low static power dissipation, low latency
combinational logic, and efficient device count.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
