A possibility of physically and logically reversible processing of digital information in Josephson-junction circuits of a reasonable complexity has been considered. As example, a 8-bit 1024-point fast convolver has been designed on the basis of a two-dimentional quasi-uniform array of <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">~ 250×30,000</tex> parametric quantrons. This completely reversible conveyer device can operate with the estimated rate of at least <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">~10⁹</tex> numbers per second, which corresponds to <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">~10¹⁴</tex> binary logical operations per second. At this rate the power dissipation in the whole device can still be as low as ∼30nW. A new mode of the parametric quantron operation with larger parameter margins is also described.
