Abstract
So far this course has been concerned primarily with the science of superconductivity, the various phenomena observed experimentally and the phenomenological and microscopic descriptions which generalize these phenomena within the framework of theoretical physics. Many of the lectures to follow will discuss applications or the technology of superconductivity. This lecture is intended to serve as a kind of interface between these two major topics of the course and it has two primary objectives:
-
1.
To give a brief overview of the many applications of superconductivity
-
2.
To discuss the physics of that subset of applications sometimes called “quantum devices”, that is, those involving fluxoid quantization, flux flow and the Josephson Effect.

A survey of the literature from 1959 to March 1967 was compiled by W. S. Goree and E. A. Edelsack and issued as a cooperative effort of Stanford Research Institute and the Office of Naval Research. This survey has been continued through a joint publication of the National Bureau of Standards and the Office of Naval Research issued quarterly. It is entitled “Superconducting Devices and Materials” and is currently being compiled by W. S. Goree, E. E. Takken, R. A. Kamper and Neil A. Olien.
