Abstract

This paper investigates the microcontroller execution, random number generator (RNG), and chaos suppression via genetic algorithms (GAs) in the piecewise resistive capacitive inductive shunted Josephson junction (JJ) oscillator (PRCLSJJO). Limit cycle, period-2 oscillations, periodic bursting characteristics, and six different shapes of chaotic characteristics are revealed in the PRCLSJJO. These dynamical characteristics obtained during the numerical simulations are validated by the microcontroller execution of the PRCLSJJO. The randomness of the generated binary data is extensively tested using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-22 test suite, confirming the suitability of PRCLSJJO-based Random Number Generator (RNG) for applications such as secure communication schemes and other chaos-based applications. Chaos suppression in PRCLSJJO through GAs is demonstrated by optimizing some parameters of PRCLSJJO via the GAs. The chaotic characteristics encountered in PRCLSJJO can be converged to the desired state.
