1. A neuron circuit, which is superconducting, and which controls an input signal according to a set threshold value and enables to output an output signal above the threshold value, the neuron circuit comprising:
at least one threshold loop, which has at least one signal input, at least one signal output, at least one first junction, at least one second junction, and at least one threshold side coupled inductor; and which is superconducting, receives the input signal to be processed from the signal input, decays the said signal according to the threshold value or enables the output of the signal through the signal output, and repeats the same process for each new signal;
at least one first junction and at least one second junction which are insulator and which enable the signal to remain within the threshold loop between the signal input and the signal output until it reaches the threshold value;
at least one decaying loop, which has at least one decaying side coupling inductor, and which is superconducting and upon being integrated with the threshold loop, enables determination of the threshold value of the signal in the threshold loop;
at least one decaying side coupled inductor, which is coupled to the threshold side coupled inductor provided on the threshold loop via the decaying threshold coupling, and which enables determination of the threshold value of the signal in the threshold loop with the effect of the distance between itself and the threshold side coupled inductor and the magnetic fields they create.
