“…However, the adequate theory of the voltage-current characteristic (VCC) of the high-T C DC SQUID, which would predict its transfer function and energy resolution, still not exists. In recent time intensive computer simulations and theoretical studies have been performed to investigate the dependence of high-T C DC SQUID behavior on various factors 4,5,6 , but a marked disagreement of the numerical simulations with experiment is still observed: the experimental transfer functions in many cases are much lower than the values predicted by theory and computer simulations; the white noise is about ten times higher than predicted. This is one of the most important unsolved problems, which seriously hinders the optimization of high T C DC SQUIDs for applications.…”
