The bit-error rate of the Josephson junction single-flux-quantum comparator was measured as a function of bias current offset, at clock rates up to 10 GHz. The bit-error rate versus offset is a smooth curve, measured over 16 decades of incidence, which linearly extrapolates to 10-49 for optimal bias. The lowest rate actually measured was 5×10-17, corresponding to 4 errors counted in 130 h. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
