Superconductor electronic device applications

Superconductors are becoming important in many applications where high sensitivity or speed is required. A brief introduction to superconductive device physics is presented, and the role of high-temperature superconductors is considered. The basic principles of a number of applications in metrology, electromagnetic sensing, and analog and digital circuits are presented. The prospects for hybrid semiconductor-superconductor devices, circuits, and systems are discussed. >
