The 6th FLUXONICS RSFQ design workshop is an activity of the European S-PULSE project and will be held at Ilmenau University of Technology, Germany on July 26-29, 2009.

We invited two distinguished researchers to the workshop:
- Prof. Akira Fujimaki, Nagoya University, Japan
- Prof. Vasili Semenov, Stony Brook University, USA

The aim of the workshop is to discuss recent developments and future activities in the field of Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) circuit design with particular emphasis on the translation of scientific knowledge into industrial applications.

Registration is now open up to March 6 for the Savoie workshop on experimental considerations connected to superconducting electronics. The workshop will take place from April 6 to 8, 2009 at the Headquarters of the University of Savoie in the heart of Chambéry in France (see also the website of the tourism office). There is no registration fee.
The main topic deals with experimental techniques of measurements related to superconducting electronics. It includes the techniques associated to the extraction of technological parameters, the measurements of digital RSFQ circuits or the characterization of detectors. It also includes cryogenic considerations related to the measurements of superconducting devices. Read the rest of this entry »
