dc SQUID near the quantum noise limit
Conference

OSTI ID:6454048
A series of dc SQUIDs has been fabricated in an attempt to obtain quantum-limited sensitivity. Typically, the SQUID inductance, L, is 2 pH, the capacitance and critical current of each tunnel junction are 0.5 pF and 0.5 mA, and the shunt resistance for each junction is 1..cap omega... The measured spectral density of the voltage noise S/sub v/ contains a l/f component that extends typically to 100 kHz or higher. When the l/f component is subtracted out, the best energy sensitivity achieved to date is epsilon/1Hz = S/sub v//2L(delta V/delta PHI)/sup 2/ less than or approximately equal to 2h, where delta V/delta PHI is the transfer coefficient.
