1. A resonant clock network (RCN) configured to resonate in response to both a first clock signal having a first phase and a second clock signal having a second phase, the RCN comprising:
at least one spine; and
at least one rib coupled to the at least one spine, wherein the at least one rib comprises:
a first capacitive line configured to receive the first clock signal and provide, via a first capacitor, a first positive voltage to a first superconducting circuit,
a second capacitive line configured to receive the second clock signal and provide, via a second capacitor, a first negative voltage to a second superconducting circuit,
a first inductive line configured to connect the first capacitive line with the second capacitive line forming a first direct connection between the first capacitive line and the second capacitive line,
a third capacitive line configured to receive the first clock signal and provide, via a third capacitor, a second positive voltage to a third superconducting circuit,
a fourth capacitive line configured to receive the second clock signal and provide, via a fourth capacitor, a second negative voltage to a fourth superconducting circuit, and
a second inductive line configured to connect the third capacitive line with the fourth capacitive line forming a second direct connection between the third capacitive line and the fourth capacitive line.
