A cascading selective microwave switch (cascade) includes a set of Josephson devices, each Josephson device in the set having a corresponding operating bandwidth of microwave frequencies, wherein different operating bandwidths have different corresponding center frequencies. A series coupling is formed between first Josephson device from the set and an n.sup.th Josephson device from the set. the series coupling causes the first Josephson device in an open state to reflect back to an input port of the first Josephson device a signal of a first frequency from a frequency multiplexed microwave signal (multiplexed signal) and the n.sup.th Josephson device in a closed state to transmit a signal of an n.sup.th frequency in the multiplexed signal from an input port of the n.sup.th Josephson device to an output port of the n.sup.th Josephson device.
