Magnetic Field-Mediated Superconducting Logic

While superconductors are highly attractive for energy-efficient computing, fundamental limitations in their logic circuit integration have hindered scaling and led to increased energy consumption. We therefore propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel superconducting switching device utilizing the proximity magnetization from a spin-orbit torque-switched magnet to control the resistivity of a superconductor. We further propose a complete logic family comprised solely of these devices. This novel implementation has the potential to drastically outperform existing superconducting logic families in terms of energy efficiency and scalability.
