1. A method comprising:
providing current to a superconducting multidimensional array in a first configuration, the superconducting multidimensional array comprising alternating narrow portions and wide portions, the current provided, in the first configuration, to a first superconducting set of the narrow portions such that the first superconducting set of narrow portions remain in a superconducting state while a first non-superconducting set of the narrow portions remain in a non-superconducting state, one or more of the wide portions being connected to electrical terminals that are connected to a programmable circuit;
outputting, from the superconducting multidimensional array in the first configuration, a first electrical output to the programmable circuit, the first electrical output being provided through the electrical terminals that are connected to the one or more of the wide portions;
providing additional current to the superconducting multidimensional array in a second configuration, the additional current provided, in the second configuration, to a second superconducting set of the narrow portions such that the second superconducting set of the narrow portions remain in the superconducting state while a second non-superconducting set of the narrow portions remain in the non-superconducting state; and
outputting, from the superconducting multidimensional array in the second configuration, a second electrical output to the programmable circuit, the second electrical output being provided through the electrical terminals that are connected to the one or more the wide portions.
