Superconducting Electronics and Devices

The science of superconducting electronics was first developed about forty years ago - fifty years after the discovery of superconductivity. Since then, a wide range of applications has emerged, and more are envisaged within this ever-expanding and exciting field. In particular, the development of superconducting electronics has been immense in the last ten years and superconducting electronics, SQUIDS, and related instruments are commonly used in many industries, from meteorology, space surveillance, and microwave, high-frequency electronics, and signal processing. Superconducting Electronics and Devices includes discussions on superconductivity, the Josephson effects and SQUIDs (detectors of unparalleled sensitivity), properties of superconductors at high temperatures, superconducting materials, non-destructive evaluation, high-frequency applications, and fundamental physics, including quantum computing. Theory is punctuated with practical discussions on how to harness this new science, thus making the book a complete guide to the subject. See more
