Abstract
The decision of a Josephson comparator is influenced by thermal noise which is limiting the practical sensitivity in many applications of superconductor electronics. We analyzed the Gaussian state distribution theoretically and identified the most effective way to improve the practical sensitivity of a Josephson comparator. We suggest a modified damping concept and demonstrate a gray zone width as low as 840 nA experimentally. This value is about ten times smaller than for conventional Josephson comparators and very close to the theoretical limit at liquid helium temperature.
