TT 45: Focused Session: 100 Years of Superconductivity

TT 45.4: Invited Talk

Thursday, March 17, 2011, 12:10–12:40, HSZ 03

Weak Superconductivity and Superconductor Electronics — •Konstantin Likharev — Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794-3800, U.S.A.

I will review the discovery and studies of the Josephson effect and related macroscopic quantum phenomena (including the single-Cooper-pair tunneling), and the development of their electronics applications. The main focus of the talk will be on digital superconductor devices and circuits (such as the latching logic, parametric quantron, and RSFQ technology), but I will also briefly mention the development and current status of superconductor analog devices for dc voltage and current standards, ultrasensitive magnetometry, and electromagnetic wave detection.
