Understanding Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs): A Comprehensive Guide

A Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) is a highly sensitive magnetic field detector that operates at very low temperatures. SQUIDs are based on the principles of quantum mechanics and utilize the phenomena of superconductivity and quantization of magnetic flux to achieve unparalleled sensitivity and accuracy in magnetic field measurements. At the heart of a SQUID ...
