Abstract

Multiple‐quantum interference in a superconducting interferometer is used for analog‐to‐digital conversion. The simple fully parallel four‐bit converter which is described is the first known use of this effect in a digital circuit. Sampling rates of 2×10⁸ per second were achieved, and much higher rates appear possible.
