A possibility of physically and logically reversible processing of digital information in Josephson-junction circuits of a reasonable complexity has been considered. As example, a 8-bit 1024-point fast convolver has been designed on the basis of a two-dimentional quasi-uniform array of about250x30,000 parametric quantrons. This completely reversible conveyer device can operate with the estimated rate of at least about10/sup 9/ numbers per second, which corresponds to about10/sup 14/ binary logical operations per second. At this rate the power dissipation in the whole device can still be as low as about30nW. A new mode of the parametric quantron operation with larger parameter margins is also described.
