Superconducting Josephson Junction FET-based Cryogenic Voltage Sense Amplifier

Cryogenic (cryo) memory blocks are envisioned to be crucial components for - (i) scalable quantum computing systems with> 1000 qubits [1], and (ii) superconducting (SC) single flux quantum (SFQ) systems [2]. Decades of research has led to a whole host of cryo-memory variants (SC, non-SC, and hybrid), and more are being actively explored. Despite having such massive interest in the search for cryo-storage solutions, the design possibilities for compatible sense amplifiers (SA) remain largely unexplored. The existing approaches for cryogenic sensing are mostly agnostic to the unique properties of the memory array [3]–[5]. For example, the recently proposed SC and twistronic memories promise seamless compatibility with the cryogenic processors in terms of speed, power, and temperature range [4]–[7]. However, they rely on current-driven read operation, and necessitate voltage-based sensing. Therefore, a current-based cryo-SA [3] cannot be used for these emerging cryo-memory variants. In this work, we propose a voltage sense amplifier (VSA) for cryogenic memories utilizing the Josephson junction field effect transistor (JJFET) [8] as the primary component, and the heater cryotron (hTron) [4], [9] as an auxiliary entity. We exploit their coupled interactions to sense ultra-low (< 1 mV) voltage difference (customary for many cryo-memory technologies [4]–[7]) between the binary memory states (0/1) at/below 4 Kelvin temperature.
