We consider spontaneous magnetic flux in a doubly connected s-wave/normal metal/ d-wave superconductor (SND) Josephson junction. The flux magnitude is not quantized and is determined by the parameters of the system. In an isolated system,…
We report a study on the response of superconducitng micro-tracks and quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) to a proximal SMM film. As a test case, Langmuir-Blodgett $Mn_{12}$-ac SMM films have been grown on 2 $\mu$m wide Nb tracks and Nb…
A seven-channel system capable of performing both magnetoencephalography (MEG) and ultra-low-field magnetic resonance imaging (ULF MRI) is described. The system consists of seven second-order SQUID gradiometers with 37 mm diameter and 60 mm…
We demonstrate coherent dynamics of quantized magnetic fluxes in a superconducting loop with a weak link - a nanobridge patterned from the same thin NbN film as the loop. The bridge is a short rounded shape constriction, close to 10 nm long…
Scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscopy is a magnetic imaging technique combining high-field sensitivity with nanometer-scale spatial resolution. State-of-the-art SQUID-on-tip probes are now playing an…
Magnetometers based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are promising room-temperature, solid-state sensors. However, their reported sensitivity to magnetic fields at low frequencies (<1 kHz) is presently >10 pT s^{1/2}, precluding…
We present transport measurements in superconductor-nanowire devices with a gated constriction forming a quantum point contact. Zero-bias features in tunneling spectroscopy appear at finite magnetic fields, and oscillate in amplitude and…
An ongoing process of miniaturization of spintronics and magnetic-films-based devices, as well as a growing necessity for basic material research place stringent requirements for sensitive and accurate magnetometric measurements of minute…
We present a measurement protocol for a flux qubit coupled to a dc-Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID), representative of any two-state system with a controllable coupling to an harmonic oscillator quadrature, which consists…
We report on the development of nearly quantum limited SQUIDs with miniature pickup loop dimensions. The implemented high quality and low capacitance cross-type Nb/AlOx/Nb Josephson junctions offer large $I_CR_N$-products and therefore…
Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) which is made of two parallel Josephson junctions has applications in magnetometry. A similar spin-based device is proposed here where spin superfluid in ferromagnet (FM) mimics the…

SQUID systems for ultra-low-field magnetic resonance (ULF MR) feature superconducting pick-up coils which must tolerate exposure to pulsed fields of up to 100 mT. Using type-II superconductor niobium (Nb) field distortions due to trapped…
A numerical model based on a lumped circuit element approximation for a bi-superconducting quantum interference device (bi-SQUID) operating in the presence of an external magnetic field is presented in this paper. Included in the model is…
We report on the total noise from an inductive motion transducer for a gravitational-wave antenna. The transducer uses a two-stage SQUID amplifier and has a noise temperature of 1.1 mK, of which 0.70 mK is due to back-action noise from the…
With superconducting transmon qubits --- a promising platform for quantum information processing --- two-qubit gates can be performed using AC signals to modulate a tunable transmon's frequency via magnetic flux through its SQUID loop.…

We have used a neon focused-ion-beam to fabricate both nanoscale Nb Dayem bridges and NbN phase-slip nanowires located at the short-circuited end of quarter-wavelength coplanar waveguide resonators. The Dayem bridge devices show…
Micron size superconducting quantum interference devices ($\mu$-SQUID) of lead (Pb), for probing nano-magnetism, were fabricated and characterized. In order to get continuous Pb films with small grain size, Pb was thermally evaporated on a…
In this work, we study the current phase relation ($C\Phi R$) of lithographically fabricated molybdenum germanium (MoGe) nanobridges, which is intimately linked to the nanobridge kinetic inductance. We do this by imbedding the nanobridges…
