Although superconducting single flux quantum (SFQ) technologies offer the potential for low-latency operation with energy dissipation of the order of attojoules per gate, their inherently pulse-driven nature and stateful cells have led to designs in which every logic gate is clocked. this means that clocked buffers must be added to equalize logic path lengths, and every gate becomes a pipeline stage. We propose a different approach, where gates are clock-free and synchronous designs have a conventional look-and-feel. Despite being clock-free, however, the gates are state machines by nature. To properly manage these state machines, the logical clock cycle is composed of two synchronous alternating phases: the first of which implements the desired function, and the second of which returns the state machines to the ground state. Moreover, to address the challenges associated withthe asynchronous implementation of Boolean NOT operations in pulse-based systems, values are represented as unordered binary codes - in particular, dual-rail codes. With unordered codes, AND and OR operations are functionally complete. We demonstrate that our new approach, xSFQ, with its dual-rail construction and alternating clock phases, along with "double-pumped" logical latches and a timing optimization through latch decomposition, is capable of implementing arbitrary digital designs without gate-level pipelining and the overheads that come with it. We evaluate energy-delay tradeoffs enabled by this approach through a mix of detailed analog circuit modeling, pulse-level discrete-event simulation, and high-level pipeline efficiency analysis. the resulting systems are shown to deliver energy-delay product (EDP) gains over conventional SFQ even with pipeline hazard ratios (HR) below 1%. For hazard ratios equal to 15% and 20% and a design resembling a RISC-V RV32I core (excluding the cost of interlock logic), xSFQ achieves 22x and 31x EDP savings, respectively.

We study the expressive power of successor-invariant first-order logic, which is an extension of first-order logic where the usage of an additional successor relation on the structure is allowed, as long as the validity of formulas is independent on the choice of a particular successor. We show that when the degree is bounded, successor-invariant first-order logic is no more expressive than first-order logic.

We study tree-to-tree transformations that can be defined in first-order logic or monadic second-order logic. We prove a decomposition theorem, which shows that every transformation can be obtained from prime transformations, such as tree-to-tree homomorphisms or pre-order traversal, by using combinators such as function composition.

We prove that graphs G, G' satisfy the same sentences of first-order logic with counting of quantifier rank at most k if and only if they are homomorphism-indistinguishable over the class of all graphs of tree depth at most k. Here G, G' are homomorphism-indistinguishable over a class F of graphs if for each graph F is an element of F, the number of homomorphisms from F to G equals the number of homomorphisms from F to G'.

We introduce a model of register automata over infinite trees with extrema constraints. Such an automaton can store elements of a linearly ordered domain in its registers, and can compare those values to the suprema and infima of register values in subtrees. We show that the emptiness problem for these automata is decidable. As an application, we prove decidability of the countable satisfiability problem for two-variable logic in the presence of a tree order, a linear order, and arbitrary atoms that are MSO definable from the tree order. As a consequence, the satisfiability problem for two-variable logic with arbitrary predicates, two of them interpreted by linear orders, is decidable.

We consider the problem of deciding whether a given MSO-definable relation over bi-infinite words contains an MSO-definable function withthe same domain. We prove that this problem is decidable. there are two obstacles to the existence of such uniformisations: the first is related to the existence of non-trivial automorphisms of bi-infinite words, whereas the second, more subtle obstacle, is related to the existence of finite, discrete dynamical systems, where no trajectory can be selected by an MSO formula.
