A circuit-oriented quiteron analysis

A phenomenological circuit model for the quiteron, a three-layer superconducting amplifying device, has been developed which simulates the observed I-V curves reasonably well. The model is used to analyze the behavior of the quiteron for various circuits and a range of parameters. The results show that the quiteron has poor isolation making it difficult to use in logic circuits. Several ways to somewhat reduce this problem are suggested.
