    <p>The adiabatic quantum-flux-parametron (AQFP) is an energy-efficient superconductor logic element based on the quantum flux parametron. AQFP circuits can operate with energy dissipation near the thermodynamic and quantum limits by maximizing the energy efficiency of adiabatic switching. We have established the design methodology for AQFP logic and developed various energy-efficient systems using AQFP logic, such as a low-power microprocessor, reversible computer, single-photon image sensor, and stochastic electronics. We have thus demonstrated the feasibility of the wide application of AQFP logic in future information and communications technology. In this paper, we present a tutorial review on AQFP logic to provide insights into AQFP circuit technology as an introduction to this research field. We describe the historical background, operating principle, design methodology, and recent progress of AQFP logic.</p>

    <p>Recently the number of integrated superconductor qubits and the fidelity in the qubit control are rapidly advanced. Besides the quantum supremacy, which is a remarkable milestone for realizing a large-scale quantum computer, was verified. However, for further increase in the scale of the quantum computer, control circuits to manipulate and read out the qubit state at low temperatures are indispensable to reduce the number of wires connecting the qubits at low temperatures with electronics at room temperature. In this report, recent research activities on qubit control circuits operating at low temperatures are reviewed.</p><p>Recently the number of integrated superconductor qubits and the fidelity in the qubit control are rapidly advanced.
