4.1.3 Operation and Performance <strong>of</strong> dc-SQUIDs<br />

• improve performance od dc-SQUID: decrease T and C, increase J c<br />

- ²(f) is given in units <strong>of</strong> ~ ' 10 -34 Js<br />

• optimized SQUIDs: ²(f) approaches quantum limit, practical SQUIDs: ²(f) ≈ 10 ~<br />

• dimensionless parameter:<br />

• reduced noise energy:<br />

rapid increase for<br />
