A DC SQUID consists of a superconducting loop with two Josephson junctions or weak links. Its operation is based on the fact that as a result of quantum interference the maximum dissipationless current I c that can flow through the SQUID is periodic in the magnetic flux Φ through the loop 7
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
