Superconducting Electronics and Its Application

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, titled “Superconducting Electronics and Its Application”, delves into the forefront of cutting-edge research in the realm of superconducting electronics, focusing on its pivotal role in advancing quantum technologies. With a multifaceted approach, this collection of articles explores three main themes: superconducting electronics for quantum technologies, analogue superconducting electronics, and digital quantum electronics for telecommunication applications.

The first theme of this Special Issue investigates the integration of superconducting materials in quantum technologies, elucidating their potential to revolutionize computation, sensing, and communication. This section unravels the intricate relationship between superconductivity and quantum mechanics, offering insights into harnessing quantum phenomena for practical applications.

The second theme, analogue superconducting electronics, scrutinizes the analogue domain where superconducting circuits exhibit unique advantages. Researchers delve into the design and implementation of analogue superconducting devices, shedding light on their efficacy in signal processing, amplification, and sensing.

The third focus area revolves around digital quantum electronics tailored for telecommunication applications. This section explores the intersection of superconducting electronics and quantum information processing, showcasing advancements in quantum communication and computation protocols that leverage the unique attributes of superconductors.

Collectively, this Special Issue serves as a comprehensive compendium, unravelling the diverse facets of superconducting electronics and its pivotal role in shaping the landscape of quantum technologies and telecommunication applications.
