Catalog Schema

Each item in docs/papers.json contains the following fields:

• slug (string): Unique URL-safe identifier matching the directory in sfq-lab/papers/<slug>/.
• title (string): Clean full paper title without LaTeX formatting artifacts.
• authors (string): Semicolon-delimited list of author names.
• year (string): Four-digit publication year (1989–2026).
• venue (string): Normalized journal or conference venue name.
• category (string): Primary and secondary human-readable category slugs.
• categories (array of strings): Multi-label list of matching domain categories.
• innovation (string): 1–2 sentence summary of core contribution or experimental demonstration.
• url (string): Direct DOI resolver link (https://doi.org/...) or fallback analysis link.
• doi (string): Digital Object Identifier string.

Stats and Distribution

The catalog currently holds 1352+ curated entries spanning foundational milestones through 2026 state-of-the-art. Use the Interactive SFQ Paper Map for live counts, year filters, venue breakdown, and multi-domain tagging — static README tables are not regenerated on every export.

Papers are classified using multi-label tagging across 9 core SFQ sub-disciplines:

Domain Slug	Display Name
quantum-and-detectors	Quantum Control & Detector Readout
clocking-and-power	Clocking & Power Distribution Networks
cryo-memory	Cryogenic Memory & Storage Systems
circuits-and-logic	Logic Families (RSFQ, ERSFQ, AQFP, 4JL)
compute-architectures	Microprocessors & Digital Compute
cell-library-and-fabrication	Cell Libraries & Fabrication Processes
hybrid-interfaces	Superconductor–Semiconductor Interfaces
cryo-eda	Cryogenic Electronic Design Automation (EDA)
sensors-and-metrology	Sensors, Metrology & Voltage Standards

Quick Start

1. Standalone clone

git clone git@github.com:single-flux-quantum/.github.git
cd .github

2. Activating GitHub Pages

GitHub Pages must be enabled in the repository settings:

• Method A: Deploy from a branch (Fastest, zero workflow overhead):

  1. Open https://github.com/single-flux-quantum/.github/settings/pages.
  2. Under Build and deployment → Source, select Deploy from a branch.
  3. Under Branch, select main and folder /docs.
  4. Click Save. The map is live in ~30 seconds.

• Method B: Deploy using GitHub Actions:

  1. Under Build and deployment → Source, select GitHub Actions.
  2. The workflow .github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml will trigger on push to main and publish docs/.

3. Running locally

Because docs/index.html has zero build steps and uses standard ES6 JavaScript:

# Python 3
python -m http.server 8000 --directory docs

# Open in browser:
# http://localhost:8000

4. Synchronizing from parent lab

From the parent monorepo sfq-lab:

# 1. Regenerate papers.json and profile/README.md from analyzed papers:
python scripts/export_papers_catalog.py

# 2. Review staged changes in share/github:
git status share/github

# 3. Commit and push from share/github:
cd share/github
git commit -am "chore: sync papers catalog"
git push origin main

Datasheet

Motivation

Superconducting electronics operates in an extreme domain of picosecond gate delays ($>50\text{ GHz}$) and sub-microwatt power consumption, but literature is dispersed across physics, device fabrication, cryogenics, and VLSI EDA venues. This catalog provides a unified, structured taxonomy to make SFQ research discoverable for computer architects, quantum hardware engineers, and circuit designers.

Composition

The dataset includes:

• Machine-readable records (docs/papers.json) containing DOIs, complete author rosters, verified venues, and TL;DR innovations.
• An interactive client-side web application (docs/index.html) supporting full-text search, domain filtering, and multi-column sorting.
• An accessible static snapshot table in profile/README.md for environments without JavaScript execution.

Collection and curation process

• Sources: Peer-reviewed publications extracted from IEEE Xplore, Crossref, and publisher repositories.
• Verification: Cross-referenced with the parent lab's BibTeX index (docs/tas.bib) and structured analyses (papers/*/analysis.md).
• Classification: Tagged into 9 domain taxonomies based on circuit topology, clocking methodology, interface type, and application target.

Maintenance

The catalog is maintained as an export artifact of single-flux-quantum/sfq-lab. Any corrections or additions to papers under papers/ are propagated via scripts/export_papers_catalog.py.

Known Issues and Limitations

• PDF hosting: In compliance with publisher copyrights, this repository does not host full-text PDFs. Every entry links directly to its publisher DOI resolver.
• Single-page scope: The catalog is tuned for low-latency in-browser filtering of hundreds of papers; large corpora (>5,000 papers) would require server-side pagination or search indexing.
