  • Device comprising a set of Josephson junctions, system comprising such a device and method for using such a device
    Publication number: 20230059096
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device including a set of superconducting conductors, of junctions and of control elements, each conductor comprising a first portion extending according to a first direction and a set of second portions, the first portions being offset relative to each other according to a second direction, at least three junctions being interposed according to the second direction between each pair of successive first portions, each junction being connected to the first portion of each of the conductors between which the junction is interposed by a second portion of said conductor, each control element being configured to switch the associated junction between a configuration in which the junction forms a Josephson junction and a configuration in which the junction blocks the Cooper pairs.

  • Memory device, comprising at least one element and associated method spintronics
    Patent number: 9653136
    Abstract: A storage device, comprising at least one spintronic element suitable for representing a state among at least n states associated with the spintronic element, n>1, characterized in that each of the n states is associated with at least one characteristic of a group of magnetic skyrmions in the spintronic element, and in that said characteristic associated with a state n oi is different from said characteristic associated with a state n oj when the states n oi and n oj are two different states among the n states.
