Abstract

The dc SQUID (Superconducting QUantum Interference Device) [1] is a very sensitive detector of changes in magnetic flux, and is becoming widely used as a magnetometer and as a voltmeter. This paper summarizes the noise limitations of the device, and makes projections of its ultimate performance. A more detailed account of this work is to appear elsewhere [2].
