Hi,

Does anyone out there know of any good resources on the net that explain how SQUID's (Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices) work? I've seen a few textbooks, but they tend to do a pretty average job of things. Perhaps there are some decent lecture notes out there or something that somebody knows of??

Cheers!

Well, you could look at Hyperphysics:
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/solids/squid.html"
but to get an full understanding, I suggest van Duzer's Principles of Superconductive Devices which is the standard text on this. Tinkham's book Intro to Superconductivity is also excellent and, as I recall, it covers SQUID's.
