A neuristor transmission line is disclosed, capable of propagating a pulse without substantial attenuation, and comprising a pair of elongated closely spaced line conductors made of superconductive materials, and a thin barrier layer of non-superconductive material disposed between said line conductors, said layer being sufficiently thin to be readily penetrable by tunneling electrons. A learning junction is also disclosed, adapted to be connected between neuristor transmission lines, and comprising a pair of superconductive elements, and an intermediate element of saturable ferromagnetic material disposed between said superconductive elements. Also disclosed is an array of artificial neurons, comprising a plurality of neuristor transmission lines as described above, and a plurality of learning junctions connected between at least some of said neuristor transmission lines.
