Abstract(in English) An ANN is a circuit that imitates the brain of a human, which is effective for pattern recognition and ?ltering, and so on. A superconducting circuit can operate at the high fre-quency with low power consumption, it is attractive for realization of energy-ef?cient ANNs. In order to perform ANN learning, it is necessary for the activation function of neurons in the middle layer to have characteristics like sigmoid/hyperbolic tangent function. The rf-superconducting quantum interference device (rf-SQUID) is composed of a supercon-ducting loop including a Josephson junction and an inductance, and when a magnetic ?ux is applied to the circuit, a circular current is generated as if sine is inclined. Applying the cir-cuit of rf-SQUID, it is known that the input/output relationship of magnetic ?ux has charac-teristics close to the sigmoid/hyperbolic tangent function. In this study, we designed a neuron with a hyperbolic tangent activation function using the AIST fabrication process. Fur-thermore, we investigated tuning method of the quantum-flux-parametron-based supercon-ducting neural network toward its learning.
