1. A Josephson ring modulator, comprising:
a plurality of matrix junctions, wherein matrix junctions of the plurality of matrix junctions comprise respective superconducting parallel branches that comprise a plurality of Josephson junctions, wherein the Josephson ring modulator is designed with a defined number of the Josephson junctions and superconducting parallel branches such that a number of the Josephson junctions per superconducting parallel branch equals a number of the superconducting parallel branches per matrix junction.
