For significant and sustained contributions in the field of superconductor digital electronic technology, in particular:
-
for playing a major role in the invention and development of Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) digital logic family based on processing of single flux quanta in Josephson junction circuits,
-
for his work in developing superconductor analog to digital and digital to analog converters,
-
for his effort in development and experimental demonstration of physically reversible superconducting circuits with ultimately low power dissipation, and,
-
for mentoring a significant number of the current generation of superconductor digital circuit designers.
